Hi guys, this is my first post in here and I hope I'll learn some good things in here.

Let's get to the topic, I am wondering if I could use my PC1 as a regular PC (browsing the internet, etc) + as a Router(for my other PC2 and PC3) at the same time?

hi

there are 2 ways of doing this.

you can connect PC1 directly to the internet and put some firewall software on it and have PC2 and PC3 connect to PC1 and connect to the net ...

OR

get a cheap old computer and cheap hub and connect your internet connection to the cheap old computer load monowall on it connect it to the hub and connect all 3 PCS to the hub and connect to the net ...

Let me know if this helps .
