Connect 2 Linux Computer Using Wireless Modem

[Shawn McCuan]

All of the computers should be accessible as long as they are all running
through a common router (i.e. on the same internal network)

You have a setup like this:

                                  |------> Windows Machine
DSL Modem/Router---|------>Linux Machine
                                  |
                                  |------> Wireless Router -------> Laptop
                                       (might be built in the modem)

If your dsl modem also serves as a router, you should be able to share
files/printers between all the computers because each of the them are
sharing a central router on the "same" internal network.

However, if your modem does *not* serve as a router, I don’t think you'll be
able to make a connection without purchasing a router and setting up the
network like:

                                |---------> Linux Machine
DSL Modem ----> Router ---> Windows Machine
                                |
                                |
                             Wireless Router -----> Laptop

My network is set up like the second illustration, except I have 5 computers
connected. 4 of them are hardwired (cat5) and one is wireless.

One thing seems unclear to me...:
Do the computer share one single DSL modem?
In other words, is your modem also a router with several ports and a
WLAN antenna?
...OR...
Do you have three separate DSL connections?
