Hello, Question for anyone who wants to take the time to answer. Is it possible to hookup an Intel INTERNAL DSL modem to a Linksys wireless router and share out the internet? Remember this internal modem does not have an RJ45 port. Was wondering if anyone has ever done this or knows of a way to do it(I may just have to find an external modem).

Yup, I think I do. I have the same setup - Intel Pro/DSL 2100 modem and a new Linksys WRT54-G router with wireless access point.
Out of the box the problem is that ICS requires the PC's IP address must be 192.168.0.1. However the router's defult IP is 192.168.1.0 (I think)
Anyway, you have to configure your router to have an IP like 192.168.0.9 Also go to the advanced tab in the router setup and from the "Routing Tab" select: Operating Mode = Router Dynamic Routing = Disabled
I did these things with the hardware I mentioned and it works great. I am also to use the router portion of the box.
