My brother bought a dsl system from sbcyahoo which included a 2wire
1701 router and signal filters for the wall sockets. He was told that he could plug his incoming phone line directly to the 2wire, then plug his lines that go to wall receptacles throughout the house into the four line-outs from the router. At the wall sockets throughout the house he could then plug in any phone and/or computer utilizing a provided filter. I tried that setup and got nothing. I can access the dsl signal when I plug the router into the wall phone socket at my computer, hard wite my computer to the out-put "local ethernet" sockets on the router, plug it in to power and I'm up and running. How can I hook up the other 2 computers in different parts of the house without re-wiring and without buying extra cards for these computers. Just need a little guidance here. Thanks, tj- posted
