How do I set up DSL for my computer and another computer in the house?

You're going to need a router with a built-in switch. You'll plug the line that runs from the DSL modem to your computer right now into the Input port on the router, and then connect both computers to the router. There are TONS of routers out there - both wireless and not. I highly recommend the Linksys WRT54GL - it seems a tad pricey but its very well-made and worth it.

My DSL required a router to be connected between the line and computer through a LAN port. There should be instructions and maybe even software to help you install.

To start with what you have you need the following:\n\n1) 5ea wireless Network card in each computer, OR 5ea Cat5 or Cat6 network cables long enough to goto the routers and computers and 5 network cards.\n2) A Wireless ROUTER (or if you can't afford wireless get a DSL/Cable router with at least 5 ports (1 for each PC, but more is better for upgrading later)\n3) follow the instructions for setting up the router, and plug in all the computers.\n\n4) for a very basic low security setup this will get you started.\n5) run the windows xp network wizard. DONE

firstly u must have two ethernet card or an usb and an ethernet card.\n\nMake a cross cable. Connect it to the both pcs.\n\nNow go on first computer, there are two connections shows.\nGo on that connection, which is ur dsl connection > right click > properties > advanced > check internet connection sharing box. but first u check that the ur second syatem ip must be automatic.\nAnd ur both computer must be in same workgroup.\n\nTo see workgroup : My computer > computer name > change.\nTo see ethernet card : Start > control panel > network connections.\n\nIf ur dsl connection hang with ur usb port, then u must have one ethernet card, otherwise it needs two.\n\n\nGood luck!!!!!!!!!!!\nIf any problem, please mail me on kamaljeet111@yahoo.com

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.

Fast and easy to setup and maintain?  Go pick up a router.  You will need cat-5 cable to stretch out to each pc from the router.  These cables cannot be more than 326 feet. Set all of the machines up to acquire an IP address automatically.  Set the workgroup to be the same on all machines (this asumes a Windows environment).  Turn everything on and give it about 2 minutes to settle down then start checking for connectivity between the machines.  Depending on your situation, wireless might work better than stringing cables.  I have a mixed network in the house here.  I also have the network bridged via wireless to the neighbors house.(Share cable modem)

you can use multiple computer just one internet connection \n1 - create a local net work  by connecting computers \n2 -  create a connection to inter net in one computer \n3 - find connection sharing  in your connection from conection peoperties \nturn on check box :"alloew other computer to use this connection"\nall connected computer connect to internet via this connection with network \nif your dsl modem working  with rj45 connection you must use two  NIC (networl card) one for dsl modem and other for connecting to other computer

If you already have DSL or cable internet, it's pretty easy.\n\nBuy a wireless router/switch which will plug into your\nDSL or cable modem.  It will have a configuration disk\nwhich will lead you through a few questions on setting\nit up.\n\nYou should follow the instructions and set up a "WAP"\n(password) so that clever teenagers with too much time\non their hands don't park out on your curb and \npiggyback on your wireless to do mischief on the\ninternet (which would lead back to you).\n\nMostly, you just follow the directions from the\nsoftware.

If you only want to link the computers to each other, install NIC's in each machine, and connect them using a crossover ethernet cable.\n\nIf you want to network the computers and share an internet connection, the method will be determined by whether you have dial-up or a high speed (DSL or cable) connection.  You don't give enough information to point you in the right direction.

You would need to hook up a router. If the computers are next to each other a hard wire router would work. If they are in different parts of the house, you would need a wireless set up. If wireless is needed, I would look into a good firewall too (which you should do anyways! :))\n\nYou would need this set up even if you had cable internet.

It ain't pretty, but you need a second NIC in the computer that will connect to the modem. Use the connection wizard to connect direct to the internet (modem) on the first computer. Set the second computer to access the internet thru another computer or router. Use a crossover cable to connect the first and second computer via NIC #2.

You can get a wireless router. The cable that goes from your DSL modem to your desktop computer will plug into the wireless router instead. The desktop computer will plug into the router and the router will send a signal out that your laptop can use to get online with the DSL. You may or may not need an additional wireless card added to the laptop to be able to do this. \n\nWireless routers should be setup with encryption, so not just anyone can drive up around your house and hop onto your internet. (Neighbors are known to be curious and depending on their technical skills, they may be able to read your files.) I suggest taking your laptop to Best Buy, having the Geek Squad tell you if you need a wireless card or not (unless you know you have one already) and then help you get a wireless router. Linksys routers are probably the most common. I'd also recommend having the Geek Squad come out and set it up for you. They will setup the encryption too so no one else can get in.

Connect the routers "internet" port into the cord coming from the DSL modem. If your DSL provider uses PPPOE authentication you will need to configure your router to work with it. You can edit this in your router's configuration page which can be accessed by going to internet explorer and typing its ip address (192.168.1.1 on linksys routers or 192.168.0.1 on dlink) in the address bar. When you hit enter you will be prompted for a password and username. The default for this is typically username:admin password:admin. There will be a section in the configuration where you can add this. Otherwise i would check your physical connections and reset your DSL modem after you connect the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in.\n\nHope this helps :)

Just hook up a wireless router to your DSL modem , you have your own wifi.

Basically you set the router to act as a DHCP client and plug it into the cable modem. It is actaully easier that using DSL because there is no logon.

If you have a broadband connection, the modem (cable or DSL) probably is a router as well. Even if it has only one jack, if it is a router, all you need then is a hub. Connect both computers to the hub and configure the Internet connection.

if it only has one output then you need to by a splitter or router, if it has a router built in then you can simply connect them both to it then go into ( assuming ur on windows ) my network places, then set up a new home network
