  You can use ccproxy to share the internet connection between PCs connected on lan..It is available for free evaluation, however the free connection only supports 3 computers..

  Can you provide a sketch of your network connections (what is connected to what)? Also, what is the model of your router?
  
  There are many ways to do this. If your router has DCHP enabled, you just need to leave the network settings on the computers as automatic. DNS addresses, ISP username as password, etc, would be entered directly in your router (if its a modem).

  Okay, this should be simple. I'll tell you how I did mine (I've got a similar ZTE modem router, but with just 1 LAN);
  
  1. Enter the configuration page of your modem via one of the computers (make sure it is connected to it!). Open a browser and point it to the IP of the modem (192.168.1.1).
  2. Login in using the default username admin and password admin
  3. Under advanced (or something similar) look for the WAN page.
  4. Create a new connection with these values:
  - VPI: 0
  - VCI: 35
  - Service category: UBR without PCR
  - Protocol: PPPoE
  - WAN IP: Obtained automatically
  - NAT: Enabled
  - PPP Username and Password: login details provided by your ISP
  - Select "Always on" if you wish.
  
  5. Under LAN settings, you can enable DHCP, and give a range from 192.168.1.2 - 254. Doing this will allow your computers to automatically be assigned IP addresses. Also, enter the DNS settings that your IP provider gave. If you can't find it in the modem configuration, you can still place the DNS settings in each computer.
  
  6. Save the settings and restart the modem. Just connect the computers to the router and it will be automatically connected. Verify that they have obtained IP addresses and DNS settings by using the ipconfig/all command in the command prompt.
  
  Good luck! If you plan to use the wireless option, remember to select either WPA or WPA2 encryption.

  Your welcome!
  
  Using that method, you can easily connect Linux based computers with ease as well since the configuration is stored in the router.
