Plug each one of the cat 5 cables into the hub or switch, then plug the input from the cable modem or data source into the master input socket (its marked) on the hub or switch.
Start up the computers and depending on the hub or switch then you can configure the network using their program.
Does he have WiFi or is it straight cat 5 cable? If WiFi then make sure that the WEP protection system is enabled.
Its not hard. Did he also have a printer networked? If so it either plugs into the hub or switch or only onto one computer then is shared by the other computers. Make sure that you set the printer to be able to be shared if its plugged into one computer and not the switch.
