I have my computer an Apple Mac G4 upstairs in my room.
There is a Dell downstairs.
The DSL comes in through every phone jack.
My question is how do I get the modem to stay in my room and still have internet on the Dell downstairs WITHOUT running an Ethernet cable down the stairs from the modem in my room?
I have tried buying another modem and plugging each computer up to a single modem through the phone line that is close to the computer but everytime I do this the internet doesn't work on either computer.
Would it work if I kept the modem in my room and just bought a router that would be plugged into from the phone jack then to the Dell? Because it seems that once a modem is plugged up to a phone jack somewhere in the house the modem works through all the phone jacks. I might be wrong though.
Anyway to solve this problem without running an ethernet cable down the stairs from the modem to the Dell?
My goal is to have a line go from my phone jack to the modem to my Apple and have a line go from the phone jack downstairs to something to the Dell. Or anyway other way that overall process would work.
