[P1] Networking from Across the Street

[Brian]

I  am guessing but i get the impression he was not using a router but 
just a hub and a modem, in which case there would be a need for an IP 
address for each computer.

With a router attached to your modem Comcast or any ISP would not know 
the  number of computers.


Regarding getting a wifi adapter, if you can move your base station to 
an area that receives your neighbors signal you can use it as a bridge. 
That feature is built into Apples ABS
