    I'm a poor geek, so I've still got snail connection- I'm trying to configure a main pc (hooked up to phone modem) to be the host for my laptop. A friend of mine gave me a DLink router, I said I was poor! Problem is with out a broadband internet connection I can not complete the set up on the router.confused
    Anyone have insight on how to complete the setup with out broadband connection?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!:)

    Pretty much no, not possible, now apple makes a router that you can plug the phone into it.

    For the price of your dial-up ISP, there is cheaper DSL packages nowdays (ie AT&T has a $14.95 package).

    hey, thanks, ya'll!
    I decided to quit smoking, or at least cut back dramatically so now I'm funding brain cancer/myopia instead of black lung - no offense- signed up with bellsouth/att DSL, although they wanted to try to charge $5.00 a month extra to share DSL access, what gives with that?:major
    So now I'm at least cruising at minimum speed limit!
