Question about hooking up two computers with DSL?

Question

Hello.I am going to finally get DSL in our house here but need to hook up two computers to this.What do I all need to hook the two together.The company said they supply the moden and the line but we are responsible for the rest.Do I need a router also and how do I go about hooking all this up?Trying to get away from their high charges for coming in and hooking this up outside of them just running the line.Thanks

Answer 1

You will need a cable/dsl router. That will be hooked up to your modem. So it goes Line>Modem>router>PC. Once that is installed, you need to buy a wireless router (or get a realllllly long ethernet cable) and install it on the other computer. I'd suggest a wireless router, since ethernet cables are expensive. Plus I would always end up tripping myself over the cable. :P

Answer 2

Purchase a Wireless Router and if your two computers do not have network capability on the motherboard, buy wireless network cards from the same manufacturer as the modem

READ your motherboard users guide and the user guide that comes with the network equipment that you buy!

If you fail/do not read FIRST, you will waste a lot of time, get mad, do DUMB THINGS! READ and it is all so easy!

Connect your DSL modem into the router. and install the network cards into your mother board.

Answer 3

A very simple solution. Purchase two Ethernet Cards and a cross over cable. Get the cards installed in the machines and it would be ready for work. Download a free-ware proxy server (www.analogx.com) and install it on the machine where u have DSL working. Both the machines would be able to have internet working.

In case u have any problems ur can IM me.
