Is this possible?

[Lioness]

Currently I'm using PC#1 as a standalone. My current setup at this time is:

Linksys BEFSR41 router, Westell modem, DSL Dynamic with Verizon. Under XP services: Workstation, Server and ICS are disabled, DNS client and DHCP client are enabled (must be to connect). My TCP/IP property settings are: "Client for Microsoft network", "Obtain IP address and DNS server address automatically", "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffix", "append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix" and "register this connection address in DNS", are all checked. Under IP settings DHCP is enabled for my NIC and automatic metric settings are checked. I did not use Microsoft network setup wizard. This connection is working.

I would like to connect a second PC located on the other side of the house and have it share ONLY my DSL connection. Both PC's have their own NIC's and Westell dsl modems. PC#1 will have the Linksys BEFSR41 router and PC#2 will be using D-link 704 router. My DSL service is Dynamic on Verizon.

Is it possible to avoid running wires through the house with this available hardware and share the dsl connection? If so, how do I set this up? I checked many online networking sites to find this setup but I can't seem to locate it. Maybe because it isn't possible? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Im not 100% sure of what your trying to say, you have 2 modems? If you have 2 modems why would you need them to share a connection ? If you have 2 modems and want to join them together hopping to get double the bandwidth then I think they sell routers with dual wan ports? (maybe even wireless ones)... Like I was saying im not totally clear on what your saying, and I see no use for 2 routers.. And whats wrong with running wire ? You can easly hide the wire in corner under carpet or find other ways to run.

Jack MDS: I read that link you suggested prior to posting but I'm not sure that person is asking the same question.

I only have one DSL account with Verizon, so I would think, correct me if I'm wrong, if I connect using the second Westell modem on PC #2 will I be charged for a second account with Verizon? Or will this only occur if both PC's connect to the internet at the same time?
