Depends on your network hardware configuration.
Are the PCs and the router all plugged into a switch?

Some ISPs use DHCP and give you two or more dynamically allocated IP addresses.

If this is the case for you it should work fine.

Otherwise you could, depending on your OS, use one as a gateway for the other. I think it's called 'Internet sharing' in Windows 2000.

You could also get a router like this one.

You need something called a "router" (preferably one with a good, built-in firewall). Connect the DSL modem to the router's WAN connection. Then connect multiple PCs.

I share my Yahoo! SBC DSL link at my home.

Netgear works OK for me. I also had pretty good luck with D-Link "Extreme G" which does operate at screaming speeds.

The big office supply stores have the D-Link stuff on sale often with rebate for about $30 each. You need the router and a access point (PCI card, USB or PC-Card).

I use a Billion 711CE router/modem. This plugs into my 8 port ethernet switch. I can then plug up to seven computers into the switch and they all share the ADSL connection. (So far I have only used 2 at one time, but in theory it should work with 7.)

I didn't have to do any special configuration at all for this, just plugged everything in and it worked. (Win98 on one box and XP on the other.)

The router/modem and the switch were both low-cost items.
