Help Please!!!

Can somebody please help. I have three computers that are networked. The main computer has been asked to share the internet with the other two but it won't. Apparently I have to tell the main computer to accept the IP addresses of the other two computers. Easy so far!!! Well this is the bit that I am stuck on......where do I get the IP addresses from and how do I tell the main computer the addresses. If somebody could give me a step by step, idiot guide I would be very grateful because it would mean that I could spend more time on here and not have to share the internet anymore.

sounds simple enough to sort Plukie but

How have you got the PC's networked? eg. Router/switch etc

What sort of internet connection is it? eg Dial up or Broadband

Hi Chris, I have got the three computers networked with a switch. I was told I don't need a router this switch apparently will do the job. I am on AOL Broadband.
