In computer A I have an INTERNAL 3Com HomeConnect ADSL Modem PCI card supplied by the telephone company.

In a cardboard box beside me I have a Linksys 4port DSL/Cable Router BEFSR41 and 3 LNE100TX NICs bought to network my house when I switch to Road Runner....but that has been delayed with RR problems.

Can I use these components in the cardboard box to network my house and allow the other computers to access the internet through the internal DSL modem (realizing that computer A would need to be powered on) prior to changing to RR with its EXTERNAL modem?:confused:

I never did it, but It seems that Sygate can do it.

You have to install the extra NIC in the computer that has the DSL modem, and you can use your Cable/DSL Router as a 4 port Switch to connect other computers.
