Network setup

Whilst this is probably not the right area, I think you trouble shooting types would be best suited to help.

I have 2 Dell laptops with XP on both. I want to use cables to connect both pc’s INDEPENDENTLY to one DSL connection. Do I connect both to a router and then connect the router to the DSL link? What configuration changes would I have to make to the pc’s?

I also have a Dell from hell laptop with XP that has an intermitent internet connection, also DSL. Sometimes it will connect right after the OS loads. Sometimes it will take 1-2 hours. Sometimes 4 or more hours. Once it is connected it stays connected until the system is shut down.

Your help is greatly appreciated !

Regards
Greg
