dynamic ip and DSL

[tkim]

i have dsl and i dont have a static ip. i need to log on to my dsl network when i want to use it. i have pacbell btw....sbcglobal.

if i get a dsl router, can multiple computers use the DSL?? i mean will the router be able to log in to my DSL and then provide internal ip's to my pc and laptop?

THANKS!!

Yes to your question.

Pacbell will assign an IP address to your router. Your router in turn will assign Ip addresses to the computers inside your network and route the traffic to the appropriate computer.

is there a particular one you recommend? and why?


THANKS!!

Check out the networking forum. I'm sure there are a number of threads on which router to get.

Linksys offered a great deal to me. I bought it and couldn't be happier. They spent an hour on the phone with me getting everything to work. Then guess what? I messed it up and called back, they helped me again for about another 1/2 an hour. I couldn't ask for more knowledgable tech support, and there was almost no wait, only about 5-10 minutes!

THANKS A LOT GUY!!!


last question. is this the one you got??

Linksys BEFSR41 Etherfast 4-Port Cable/DSL Router

There are no significant differences between most of the Entry level Cable/DSL Routers.

Conventional Wisdom claims: The Routing Trinity.

1. Netgear RT314
2. Barricade 7004ABR
3. Linksys BEFSR41

Some Routers have an additional Printer Server, and DialUp Modem input for backup.

I would choose the one that has the features that fit the way you use the
Internet (and may be it is on sale).
