    On whatever machine you have the modem. turn on ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Usually on the modem setup you call tell the modem to allow other users to connect using this connection.

    Then connect the router to the ethernet port of that machine.. use the WAN port on the router to that port. Be sure the router is set to an IP range of anything other than 192.168.0.x it can be 10.0.0.x or 192.168.10.x etc but not the 192.168.0.x

    Once all is connected, run the network setup wizard.

    It will then share the modem.

    Here is a how to on the XBOX if connected direct to that modemed computer

    Don't forget that you will then be dividing the dialup speed by the number of things in use at the time!
