I have given my Belkin router (not sure of exact model...but it's silver, not wireless, 4 hub, and 2 or 3 years old) to my son so that he may share his internet connection with other pcs in the house. Does his computer need anything extra to be able to connect via the router, rather than by the (adsl) modem as he has been doing? I have given him my cables as well. Hope the solution is easy....Thanks, Lissa.
He should be able to just plug-in and enjoy! You may need to "Repair Connection" when connecting the new source of i-net. You probably won't, but if you plug in and don't see i-net, just hit "repair connection" and windows will renew your DHCP lease and you'll be golden.

He shouldnt need anything else wire in this order
Dslmodem>Router wan> ----Router port 1 to his computer> port 2 to other computer.. and so on he should automatically get an internal ip address
if not press reset button on back of router, then unplug everything for a few mins then plug back in
