network planning

hi

i want to build lan network with 6 PCs. I already have 3 PC's here connected using switch. now at another point i need to install another 3 PC's and share broadband internet connection with these 3 computers.
the problem is they are to far from the switch. i hope i wont need to put 3 wires till that office.
So, my question is how can i setup this network (3+3 PCs) using 3 cable between 2 offices. Is this possible? how?

thanks in advance.

Kirez,

Your options are:

1) Plug in a Wireless LAN device into your switch and then install Wireless Cards in your three PCs that are too far from the switch.  This way you dont need to run cables.

2) Run 1 cable from the switch to the location where the three PCs are.  Plug in a new switch there and plug the computers into that.

So long as they are all on the same IP subnet you can share the broadband.
