You will need a router or a combo dsl router device. You can choose one up at any buyer electronics shop and even Wal-mart.

The other object you can do is buy a Wifi Router and Wifi Card for said computer and set up a wireless network. If you do it this manner you can extend and put a circuit summit in your network down the road that you can open anywhere in the house.
But what ever you do if you set up a wireless network, encrypt it. It's not firm to do. while your in settings to set it up it will wish you for WEP and choose WEP and than a Key. You can use the solution to succeed to access to the network. This will retain it to a certain extent safe from hackers.

No. You would need to set up a router to bring about a network that uses the DSL as a gateway to the exterior world. With a DSL modem only it's only one pc at a time.

If your computer's address (check it on the computer, not on the internet - go to Start/Run. Type cmd Click OK. Type ipconfig Look for the IP Address.) starts with 10, 172 or 192, you need a switch, if not you need a router. Both are near at enormous box stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. Routers exclude more than switches, ever since they do more.
