ofcourse you can connect all 3 machines to the internet simultaneously. this is how u do it. on one machine(eg M1) have 2 lan cards (L1 & L2) . from 1 connect to the internet. from the other connect to a switch. then do a port forward on M1 so that data can flow from L1 to L2 & vice versa. connect M2 & M3 on the network. give the ip settings as per setup, but in the default gateway give the address of M1 & it will work. > | > | 2.
