You need a hub with as many ports as you're going to have devices on the
network. 3 network devices, at least 3 ports on the hub.
It's possible to connect _2_ PCs back to back with a crossover Ethernet
cable. The problem is that it's usually so hard to find a store with
people who know what a crossover cable is, and which actually has them,
that it's usually not worth the aggravation.
