I have 4 computers on a wireless home network.  I only have dial up and at
this time only one can go on line at a time.  How to I share this one dial up
connection with all 4 computers?

You can use ICS to share a dial up connection:

If your wireless network uses a router or access point device, you may have
to turn off features such as DHCP.  If your wireless network is Ad Hoc, you
can follow this:

Good info from Doug - be aware that not all ISPs allow multiple connections.

True, though they are much less likely to fuss about your sharing a
dialup connection, since they assume much less contention for dialup
connections and the connection itself is the main factor limiting your
use of "their" bandwidth.
