Hi

This page might help it talks about DialUp but it might be the same.

mspx?pf=trueHi

However going this way might result in a system that is Not very stable, and
always trouble when you want to change or use new hardware.

I would get rid of the Internal DSL Modem and get an External Ethernet DSL
Modem, and then do the Wireless and Networking as most system do
(http://www.ezlan.net/~network/router.jpg).

This page has some info about DSL connections:

Hi
Unfortunately both Internal and USB DSL modems can not use straight the
Wireless Cable/DSL Routers that are available to consumers.

All of these Routers need Ethernet input in the WAN side.
