Ho to add an IP addresses without getting specific IP's from our I

I know this is probably simple. We have a simple Peer to Peer network. Each
PC has a specific IP address issued by the ISP, using workgroup to network.
Each PC has a cat 5 cable running to a hub. We have run out of IP addresses.
We need to add a few more PC's to the network without getting more from the
ISP. Now presume add another subnet but this would require another router or
switch?? Can anyone point to a simple how to?
Thanks

You need a router. Basically, a standard (SOHO NAT) router uses one IPA on
the WAN (ISP) side, and multiple IPAs to the LAN (PC) side. No need to pay
the ISP for multiple IPAs.

Hmm Thanks Bob, I'll try it. Do you DHCP for the PC's on the LAN side?

Yes. PCs are DHCP clients, and the router is the DHCP server.
