Purchase a DSL 4 port router.
Connect the DSL modem to the Router.
Setup DNS and DHCP.
Connect the workstations to the router.
Configure workstations to get DHCP and DNS info from router.
Verify connectivity.

You can't just install 2000as and connect it to a switch and expect the other machines to work. You will have to either set up ICS (internet connection sharing) or create a router, enable DNS, and DHCP, and serve your workstation. BFilm is right...go and buy yourself a 30 dollar router and connect it. This will be more secure, and much easier, unless you were a more advanced user. If you would like to learn how to do this instead of just buying a router...i'd go to microsofts website and search through the mounds of information they have there. Also, check out www.microsoft.com/webcasts
these webcasts are great for beginners, and they are free.
