A Router would be the best option but a $5.00 10BaseT hub would work as well... That's if you did not want to fork out for the router.

The actiontec dsl modem needs the ethernet port and they have an old Apple Laser Writer Pro Printer that has the old type of connection on it. They have rigged it thru some kind of router/adapter and that is using the Ethernet port. If there some way for BOTH of them to use the Ethernet? the actiontec dsl does not have any more Ethernet ports on the back of it and neither does the adapter. Is there some kind of adapter to either put the printer on the usb or firewire? I think the actiontech dsl has to stay on tthe Ethernet tho it does come with a usb modem cable but the isp I work for said the mac wont work with the usb cable. hmmm . anyhelp would be GREATLY appreciates asap as I feel like dumb.
