I am trying to get some information on networking my 2 comps via a DSL connection.
I use Winpoet PPPoE.
I am really getting confused with all the info out there!!

Right now I have one comp connected via a 3com network card and exteral DSL modem. Using Verizonn DSL. Also using Win98.

I want to buy I guess a network card for my 2nd comp and a DSL router? I have read about netgear and linksys but I really dont know what I need to do this.

At the most I want 2 comps and maybe a printer connected.

Can anyone give me some advice as to a network card and DSL router to use for my network?

Thanks in advance! ANd if you need more information I can provide it!

Pretty much any NIC will do. 3COM is fine, there are tons of others. Linksys router is also fine. Question: What kind of DSL modem do you have? Hopefully its ethernet. If it's USB you're out of luck.
