I am using the same modem. Have successfully connected my 2 systems running on XP without WiFi.

Please mention the mode of connection used now. How do you connect to internet ?

a. Do you click on the " Connect " button of a dialer in which ID and password is stored ?

or

b. Can you connect to net just by switching ON the modem ?

If (a), you are in dialer / Bridge mode. You need to switch to PPPoE (Always ON) mode before you can connect more than one system at the same time. Use this guide

If (b), simply get another ethernet cable from a shop and insert it into a spare LAN port in the modem. Connect the other end to the ethernet /LAN port of your second desktop. You are ready to go.

To do

1. Make sure that you enable DHCP in modem.

2. Set obtain IP address automatically in TCP/IP properties of LAN card (of both systems).
