I have an 10/100 octopuss 8 port hub.

How do I connect 6 computers in the same room together to share files , share a modem connection to the internet and play games over the lan?

All machines are the same configuration.

In my opinion, you should consider making on of your machines into a server and setup internet connection sharing and create shares on each machine in order to share files I should warn you that six computers sharing a dial-up connect wll be extremly slow.

To play LAN games, as long as all the machine are on the same network it should work fine.
