Okay, confused to the max, heh. This is just one of those subjects that just makes absolutely no sense to me no matter how hard I read and study it <sigh>. By the way, the modem/router is a Best Data model 56NET. It's an external ethernet modem with a built-in router. The box even says it's compatible with UNIX and Linux and the other OS's.
1. Take modem out of box. 2. Connect phone line to modem. 3. Connect both PC's to modem, one per port. 4. Turn on modem. 5. Configure both PC's to use DHCP and restart network software or reboot. 6. Connect to modem using a web browser per instructions that came with the modem. 7. Configure modem for your ISP settings.
If you need more detailed instructions than these you will need to call tech support for the modem.
WOOHOO! Thanks Ken! Nice and simple, just the way I was needing it.
