DSL with multiple computers?

Ok so we have DSL and two computers my desktop and my brothers laptop.. we have had this huge problem with wireless and have gave up weve called dell, belkin, and our phone company... lol well anyway heres what im wondering.. you know the way we have a phone line going from the phone jack into the modem and an ethernet cable from the modem into my computer can we just buy another dsl modem since both of our computers are next to a phone jack and just have two modems and then internet going into each of our computers from the two different modems

Nope, only one modem can talk to the phone companies system at a time,



If wireless is not working for you and you dont want to lay a ethernet cable from a router that would connect to the modem to the second room you should try networking through your power lines. Check out the below link.

No. but you can buy a router and connect the ethernet cord from the modem into the WAN port on the modem and then connect your computers to the LAN ports on the router.
all you need is a router to connect the computers to the internet at the same time.
no... this would be pretty silly (and expensive)... the truth of the matter is, wireless is going to be your best bet... but the other somewhat annoying option is to buy a really long ethernet cable and run it to the second computer from a wired router... I'd call belkin again and bug them until they help you... thats what they're there for - if all else fails in setting it up, call geek squad (or something similar) and have them come and set it up for you
Just buy a wireless router and some adapters, your laptop may even have one built in
