Before i begin im brand new to any of this. Dont be suprised if i dont make sense, just try to correct me 
I have:
*2 comps (1 Win95, 1 XP Home)
*Broadband Cable using Ethernet
I Need to hook them up the cheapest way possible
Can I:
*Can you use a hub (cheap $10 one, 4 ports) to share a broadband connection without 2 network cards on host comp?? Someone on another forum described their setup saying they had the broadband in the uplink of their hub and the comps on the normal hub ports.... This sounds like a good idea, if it works.
Or...
*Do I need to use a router? I found one for $20 in town. I dont want to use a router, because I cant hook up more comps that way (like 4 way LAN)
Any Suggestions??
Thx in advance
