Can you answer J-Mar’s question about DSL?:
Ok, here’s the situation. My cousin has a computer that was given to him. He already had a connection running from the router in the kitchen to his room, with his roommate’s pc in the kitchen right beside the router. Not sure if this an actual network as they are not connected by a server.

But anyway, they have Verizon DSL. He had the Verizon dsl software installed on his old computer, but the cd(s) ended up getting lost. Well, we got the new computer hooked up to the dsl connection in the apartment (typing on it right now) without using the Verizon DSL software cd(s), and he also has Avast anti-virus installed on his computer.
But does he actually need to install any Verizon dsl software or any other software for the modem/router the connection is coming through? And if so, is there any way of getting the software short of calling Verizon or the router manufacturer for more cd’s? Thanks to anyone who can help.

DSL Feedback: No, he does not have to install the software on the second computer. Just hook it straight to the router. Just be sure to hook up the phone line filters as specified in the instructions. They allow you to make and receive phone calls while staying connected to the internet. I hope this is helpful.
DSL Feedback: no he doesnt need the verison software on his pc at all as the IE connects ok to the router
DSL Feedback: If it is not set up as a net work, the router is basically a splitter. As long as there are no fire wall issues you should be able to just plug in the cat5 Ethernet cable and be online.
