Anyway, he has DSL through BellSouth which is a horrible service. The DLS modem they have given him has an output of a USB connection. So if you plug that into the computer it has connectivity.

The problem is...how in hell do you network this? I told him to go to Best Buy and look for a Hub/Router that will share the connectivity through a USB port into Cat 5 cable, but he said Best Buy didn't have one.

Any suggestions?

if it uses the usb port I guess you can just put in one network card and buy a special cable to connect directly with another computer. then just run modem sharing, there are functions for that in Windows 2000 and XS I think, if you're using that OS that is.

if ya need help with setting that up later hit me up on ICQ: 3652156
I had a rough time getting that to work at first so I know how frustrating it can be ;)
