I haave a USB DSL modem and am going to build my computer soon, is there a way to network my internet, even though I have a USB modem. I tried to get my ISP to give me an ethernet modem, but I have to buy one, and I don't want to spend any more money. Does anyone know how I could do this?

Hey Indigo,
Linksys (http://www.linksys.com/Products/product.asp?grid=31&prid=126) has a USB Network Adapter. It allows you to use a USB port in conjunction with an RJ45 port.

SO I would just plug this little thing in the usb part of the modem, then run a cable out to a router, then connect the two outputs into two the two NIC cards.
