MN-700

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I have a USB DSL Modem an cannot connect it to the MN-
700. Can I use the MN-700 as a just router and have other
computers connect to the internet through the computer
with in which the modem is connected? One of the other
computers is a laptop with MN-720. The other computer
would be connected to the MN-700 via ethernet cable.

Thoughts?
Thanks

Heck, if it was me, I'd even pay a small amount to switch to a regular
Ethernet modem.
