I have 2 comp running XP Professional SP2, a Linksys router, Alcatel USB DSL modem and I want to share internet. How do I connect them? I understand I need to connect modem to USB port in one of the computers, run a network cable from this computer to the internet port of the router, run a network cable from comp2 to the router. Should I bridge the connections (Local Area) and ISP"S? If I leave on auto detecting settings it does not work. What should I do?

Jump to PostGet rid of the USB modem and replace it with an Ethernet one is my suggestion. In fact, an all-in-one ADSL modem/router/firewall unit can now be purchased for not much more than the USB modem would have cost anyway, and that's by far the best piece of equipment to have!
