I have a phone line that enters at one end of a
house and has a double plate for the usual 2 phone
connections in the room. I want to locate an
Internet radio near that plate and to have a DSL
connection there for that radio. In the next room,
about 16' away from the same radio, I have a
computer and I want it to use the DSL also.

An RJ45 Ethernet cable (usually about 4' to 5' in
length) is needed to connect the DSL modem to the
radio or to the computer. Is there a wiring
scheme that will work with one modem or are two
modems needed?

Thanks for the help.

You need a router to network them. Something like the Linksys
BEFSR41:

Get a router.

Thank you Michael for your help.

The Linksys you mentioned costs $80

I found a much less expensive Dell D-Link wired
router at:
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A0723741&cs=04&c=us&l=en&dgc=BF&cid=7421&lid=197378&acd=10549103-3087823-

EBR-2310 4-Port Ethernet Broadband Router.

Cost is $42+

Problem is the note on the page: Works with
Windows Vista

"Software and devices that carry the Works with
Windows Vista logo have been tested for baseline
compatibility with PC's running." I use Win2000.
I tried to find more info but they always want
some kind of tag or code, which I have not.
