Dear network experts,

I need to have a few computers to share the data and Internet
connectivity.

How do I do it if I have:
- Mac computer & 2 Windows laptops
- Cable modem
- Wireless Airport router (only Mac can use it)

It is a simple network just to store my data at one place (under
100GB), back it up and access remotely from outside of the office area.

Please advice!
Thank you.

Very useful links.
Thank you very much.
How about the file sharing? Should I get a server perhaps? What kind?
