I have one DSL modem and it brings the DSL signal into my house. I then have a cable running from that DSL (external) modem plugged into a Linksys 4-port router. The DSL account info (Username & Password) are entered when configuring the router (router acts as a little "computer"). I then have one CAT5e cable running from the router to each of two computers, i.e., two cables from router, one cable to each of my two computers. Each computer has a NIC (Network Interface Card) or Ethernet card in a PCI slot. The above described 2 cables plug into the back of such a card in each computer. That's it! I have several email accounts under my one DSL account, so just "plug" email username and password in each computer's email software. All done.

www.Linksys.com (I think is the link) gives a good explanation.

Good luck.
