lolfighter, you're talking about PPPoE. Most DSL users use PPPoE. To use a hub/router, you would connect it like this...

I'd suggest a router if they don't allow multiple connections. The router makes the connection, and the two computers connect to the router.

Oh I count that as well.  Check the sig.  Yours is one of the 13 I have undertaken a quest to collect.

85 CAD is 65 USD.

I'm paying about $55 a month for cable TV and 3 meg + broadband. AND Comcast said they're expanding the lines even more for up to 5 megs.

Finally cable TV isn't full of 'national' shows that you're required to show by the government.

US is truely win.
Oh now that is really unfair, where I am (Texas, US), we pay $55 for Comcast Internet alone and the most I've gotten out of the stupid thing is 436kbps.  

It SAYS 1Mbps but that is complete garbage because even on a direct connection with another comcast customer only a block away, I can't get it to work at that speed.

ok, i did the test
1.9 megabits per second
Communications 1.9 megabits per second
Storage 237 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 4.3 seconds

i dunno, is that good? i have no idea. according to the page, it's supposed to faster than T1.. which seems.. not right.

Thing is, how would I configure the router with my login informations?

IF you want to be cheap and lazy, just get a hub. Requires almost no configuring (ie. any), it's not as fancy or secure like a router, but much cheaper and easier.

LF, sounds like you just need a DSL compatible router. I set them up for my customers all the time. They have a built in place where you tell it that you're using PPPoE and put in your user name/password information. Then you can usually tell it either to keep you logged on all the time, or to just log you on whenever you try to get to a web page and log you off after a set time of inactivity. I've probably got one here in the shop, but I think for coming to install it for you we'd have to charge a wee bit more than the usual 10 dollar onsite fee...

Edit: A hub wouldn't work, uranub, it won't split the IP between the two computers!

Hmm, I see...
I'll just have to:
  • Get a wireless router (too much distance between phone socket and my room).
  • Find out my username and password (complicated story, complicated business, might work though).

You should only need one user name and password for everyone. Unless that's the one that you can't remember. And you could always just run a really long cat5 cable along the floor or something. Unless that makes the folks unhappy.

Yes europe uses commas instead of punctuals, and vice versa.
