It depends on how you're doing it. The easiest way is to use a DSL switch/router like Linksys or Dlink . connect THAT to the DSL router, and then all your computers connect to the router. Most routers sell between 25 and 50 dollars and have easy setup programs.

Here is a very detailed description of networking:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/default.mspx\n\nYour setup isn't cleary defined but it appears you will need two network cards in the computer that connects to the DSL. One to connect to the DSL, one to connect to the wireless hub.\n\nBut, I could be mistaken since your configuration isn't clearly defined.\n\nRead the article, it should answer your questions.

First off, set up your router. Plug it in. From your cable or dsl modem, take the plug that goes to your computer and plug it into the port that says INTERNET (or something to that effect). You are now ready to hook other computers up to your router.\n\nWhen you hook your computers up, they should find the internet just fine. Your router should supply them automatically with an ip address which is assigned by the router. If they do not find the internet, first reboot them and try again. If they still don't find the internet, you might have to do the following: START > CONTROL PANEL> NETWORK CONNECTIONS.  In the GENERAL tab, look at the box under "This connection uses the following items: and make sure that INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) is present. If it isn't, then you will need to click on  INSTALL and select PROTOCOL then select INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP). Then select the INTERNET PROTOCOL and right click on it. Select PROPERTIES and click the button that says Automatically connect to the internet (or words to that effect). You should then be set to use your router with multiple computers.

First, both computers need network cards, although most come with Ethernet these days.\n\nTo connect them, you have two options.  You can connect them directly using a crossover cable.  Simply plug the ends of the cable into the network ports on each computer.  If you plan to maybe add other computers later, get an Ethernet hub with 4 or 5 ports.  In this case, use 2 regular (not crossover) cables to attach the computers to the hub.\n\nPresto, home network.

You need  a router. if you don't want a wireless router, then you can get a wired router and buy enough cat5 cable to run from the upstairs computer to the router downstairs. You will then connect your DSL modem to the router and both computers to the router. Go to your computer name settings from the properties of my computer and enter a workgroup name for both of them (the default is "workgroup" and will work fine also), not the domain setting. The router software should set up a dynamic host table to give both of the computers their own IP addy to communicate on so you can use automatically detect in the TCP/IP settings. the DSL modem will now recognize the DSL modem as the IP address for your home account, not that of the computer. If you want sharing permissions for files and folders then you will need to create profiles on each of the computers that give the necessary permissions for the other computers profile/sign on. \n\nThe cat5 cable itself will have to be physically run from the upstairs computer to the router so you will need to either get enough to tack it on the stairs and wall trim etc or drill through the floor/ceiling.\n\n\nGood Luck

Yes, you need another router. It will the fastest and most efficient way to do this. There is software you could install that allows it to be done through one of the computers, but it is a nightmare and you would always have to have both machines on. With the prices of Internet Broadband routers these days, why even bother.\n\nI won't fill up this page with the "How-to", so please take a look here:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291160&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

i think a router is the best solution, or you can use your computer as a router by installing windows server or linux, but for linux it's quite difficult to configure\n\nfor a router you can make it, look at www.cisco.com for dsl router.. you can find in details\n\nhope this can help

Those DSL modems will only connect with Ehternet or USB, not both at the same time.  You will need to connect the two computers with Ethernet to share the DSL connection.  XP has an Internet Connection Sharing wizard for setting this up.  You can also buy an Internet Gateway router.  This will give you better download speeds on a shared connection as the router does all of the work, not the computer that is connected to the Internet and sharing a connection.  Linksys manufactures these and you can buy them @ Wal-Mart for about $50.

you need 3 nic card network interface cards 2 in one that would be your server and 1 in the other and run a dsl cable tot he other machine from the second card tot he one card. then run the network set up wizerd on both machines and tell it how it will connect.\n\nyou can also do a router run a cable streat from your dsl modem to the router. and then branch off from there   that that has more room for expansion if you ever get a 3rd computer

I am not a Mac person, but I don't think that matters in this case. I assume you've got your DSL modem connected to the wall jack, and your 2 port router connected to the DSL modem. Can you connect to the internet if you connect your pc or Mac directly to the DSL modem? If this works and connecting through the router *doesn't* work, there are a few things to check. It could be an issue of the ISP knowing the MAC address of your pc and of your Mac, but it doesn't recognize the MAC address of the router. In the router configuration, probably under advanced settings, there should be an option for "cloning" a Mac address. If one or the other of your machines can connect to the internet when connected directly to the modem, it is the MAC address of *that* machine that you'll want to clone. To get the MAC address on a Windows box, click Start -> Run and type "cmd" to get to a command prompt. Then type "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes, of course). Copy down the "Physical Address" of your network card. Then enter this as the "cloned" MAC address on your router. It may be necessary to do a soft reset of the router at that point. Once it comes back up, the ISP's network will think that your router is in fact your PC, and everything should work just fine. At that point, you should be able to connect both computers to the router and all should be well. If not, while you have both computers connected to the router, see what IP address each has. If neither has an IP address (they should have private IP addresses, something like 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x), then in your router settings, you'll want to enable DHCP. If however, your router does not offer DHCP, then you'll need to do something like get an old PC (seriously...something like a 400Mhz will do just fine), install a 2nd ethernet card, and then install Smoothwall or IPCop on it. These will handle the DHCP stuff for you (in addition to providing you with an excellent perimeter firewall). In this case, your setup will go from wall to DSL modem to Smoothwall/IPCop box to router.

your verizon router should have more than one dsl connection...you just have to buy the extra cable, or... if your second computer has wireless card, then you can configure it for wireless networking (that's how I added my laptop).

If you want to connect 2 computers, you'll need a router.\n\nIf it's a single computer, call Yahoo/SBC support for help.

Good new, you can connect your new computer wirelessly to your DSL.  Bad news, you'll probably need to buy some equipment to do it.  If your DSL modem does not have wireless, you'll need to go out an purchase a wireless bridge or router.  You can get one on sale for $50 US most days. \n\nDon't forget to set up encryption when you get your router setup to keep people form stealing your DSL.

Buy a Wireless router and plug your broadband modem into the router.  Then sink-up the computers to the router.  That should be it.

It's easy.\n\nRun one ethernet cable from the DSL to the WAN port on the router.\n\nRun one cable from one of the 4 ports on the router to the PC.\n\nYou can either then run another cable from other 4 ports on the router to the laptop or you can set up the wireless. (if your laptop supports it)\n\nThen, just read the manual for the router on how to configure it.

You need a Router to share a DSL line.   The DSL line comes into the DSL modem, which is wired to the Router.  Then both computers are connected to the Router.\n\nA Router must be hard-wired to at least one computer, but a Wireless Router could then be wireless to others (usually the laptop).\n\nYour ISP might provide a wired or wireless router if you order it (Yahoo/SBC does).      Otherwise you can buy one for under $100.\n\nTalk to your ISP about what is required for their service.
