Newbie - USB Router killing me

[ace777]

Hello everybody,
I am a newbie hoping to get this question answered and would be really grateful if you could help me out.

I have a DSL connection coming through a USB modem into Computer A. How can I set up computer A to share the internet to 2 other computers(B and C) through a D-Link(DI-524) router? I cannot connect the router directly to the modem as it does not have a DSL port. I am stumped on this one. Can anyone help me out?
Comp A and B are running running XP. Comp C is running Windows 2000.


DSL USB---->Comp A ---> Router ----> Comp B and Comp C

Thanks you.
Sincerely,
A

Who's the manufacturer of your USB modem?
The first thing that came to mind for me was a USB to Ethernet converter which may do the trick for connectivity between your modem and router.

Here's a link to what I'm talking about: Click

Hope this helps

Easiest way is to plug the USB modem into Comp A get that all set up and connecting to the internet. Then run the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard (This can be found in My Network Places under "Setup a home or Small Office Network"), set it to share the internet through that pc. Then connect Comp A, B and C to the Router, run the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard on B and C and set it to share the internet connection on A. And there u go!

If you need a more detailed run through just let us know!

Good luck!
