Moved to more appropriate forum.

Can you be a little more specific? What are you trying to do?

Do all your computers hook up to your DSL router either Wired or Wireless?

Also just in case, what brand and model is your DSL router? That way we can see if it has a DCHP server (most do) or not.

Is it possible for you to find the model number so I can check the manual to be sure? Is it the white one that AT&T gives out with 4 wired ports in back?
