Computer ?: Can I use 2 DSL modems?
 

I have a DSL modem hooked up to my desktop computer right now. Can I hook up a 2nd DSL modem in another room to a laptop? Will both DSL modems still work properly?

No I tried that in every way. It doesn't work.

I already have an extra DSL modem so was going to try that before i bought a router. ;)

Yeah have a Linksys router and its great. They are very cheap now.

Re:Computer ?: Can I use 2 DSL modems?
 

yes you can, but you would have to logoff the other modem or unplug it when you want to go to the other room.
or you could just get a wireless router. then your laptop can go just about anywhere in the house.

I am sure that he for some reason has two modems and doesn't wanna buy a router.

But yeah, that will not work. You will need a router/switch.

sell one of the modems on ebay and use the money to buy a wireless router. Being able to carry the laptop anywhere and maintain full connectivity rox. Here is an 802.11g router and card combo for $50 after rebate and there are better deals out if you wait and know where to look. I've seen an 802.11g router/card for $22 after 2 rebates.

you can use the other modem, but you would have to buy another line. just get a wireless router.
