My boyfriend and I both went back to school this year and already have one computer connected to the internet. We're getting another one for me to use for school work and whatnot and I was wondering what the best option is for multiple computers in the same hosuehold. Right now we use a DSL connection.

You can network your internet connection through a router. Your line would come out of your dsl modem and go to the router and there it can be networked to multiple computers on the same connection

You get network cards for each computer. Often nowdays they already come with network cards. Then you buy a router which is a device which routes the messages from your modem to your computers. You can either get a wireless router or use ethernet cables depending on the convenience of running wires in your house. Setting everything up is usually pretty easy and will be described in the documentation which comes with the router. DSL is adequate, Cable is usually better. Routers are relatively cheap. The price of a decent linksys router, network cards and cable shouldn't run much over 100$. If you have a laptop, you will definitely want to go wireless.

Buy an internet router like a Linksys WRT54G model and you can share your single DSL or Cable connection with multiple computers

The wireless routers are definitely the way to go. Go ask at one of those Circuit City or Best Buy stores, and the geeky sales boys will be happy to set you up. We have three sometimes four computers on the internet at the same time in our house.

get a wireless connection. First you need a router, and then you need a wireless receiver card. Try to get the same brand. Plug the router into the computer you are using right now. and then put the wireless card into the comptuer that you are getting. that should work.

almost any DSL connection can be networked together. My boyfriend and I both run off the same modem/router.

Just get yourself a wireless router and wireless cards for the computers. If you go to linksys.com, they have some information on how to set things up (and they sell good routers!).
