i didn't know that dsl was subcribed through your phone line. i thought it only had to do with your internet provider.

No it cant be done theres a physical connection that is based on your phone line. If your friend is nearby your place you might want to buy a wifi connection instead to connect to your DSL at home.

first of all, you dont have a dsl modem installed on your computer, you probably had a network adaptor installed on your pc, your modem is still at home plugged into a phone jack somewhere. secondly, it would not work at your friends house because you need to subscribe to dsl service through your phone service, which your friend obviously has not done.

No because your DSL service will be activated through the phone lines.

If he had DSL, you could plug in an ethernet cable into your computer, go through the steps to get the connection to work, and then you're set to go.

no. the dsl is assigned to your phone number. Its not going to work anywhere but your house.
