Well, I think the cheapest and easiest way to make a small home network is to use a switch.
I think the Server should have 2 NIC cards , 1 to be used for connecting the Server with internet service and another to be used for connecting the Server with the switch.

And then connecting other two client PCs with the other side of the switch through cable which will make a small home network. Each client computers should have only 1 NIC card.

I think a cable modem is useful in this senario.
