conulyI'm pretty sure this isn't possible, but the less I have to buy, the better.
Is it at all possible to have one computer hooked up directly to the modem, and the other hooked up through the router?
Edit: All right, all right, all right. Unless you can guarantee me a new modem if it blows up the old one, I'm forgetting this insane idea.

The router came with a single ethernet cord, presumably to hook the modem up to it. If I could hook the modem up to the router with the ethernet cord, and also to a computer with the USB cord, I'd only have to buy one ethernet cord/wireless card.
And this would make me happy.
