I have a friend that, unfortunately, only has dial up. I gave her a wireless router so she could get her xbox and psp on the internet for updates etc. It is one of the Netgear 125Mbps models from staples that came with a notebook wireless card. I believe the model is WGTB511T.

Windows will let the dial up be shared over wireless, as in I was able to set it up that way, but it would not distribute the signal. I assume it likely cannot be done with this setup. Would this be correct?

And also, if I have to end up setting it up with a cable, the computer that is dialing up should be connected to the router in the uplink port - the same port that one would connect a cable modem into, correct?

Additionally, while on the topic, we would like to be able to share the DSL connection from her Aunt's house which is three houses down - typical 1/4 acre or less lots. Any recommendations on what hardware (hopefully relatively cheap) to use to send the signal from her Aunt's house and to recieve it here and distribute it to her items?

Thanks for the info!!
