A friend of mine is having some trouble setting up a shared network with his dsl, and I just wanted to see if anyone has some ideas. I talked to him on the phone, and this is the setup he tells me he has.
Instead of the traditional setup which has the line from the wall to a dsl modem to the computer, he says that his goes directly into the computer. He said from there it splits itself and has an ethernet and a regular phone line connection. I've never seen a setup like this, but he said they got dsl in the early days, 4 years ago or so.
Now he would like to hook his dsl connection through a router, so that he can share the connection with other computers. Is this possible with this type of setup? If you have any ideas or experience with something like this, please let me know.
