I was about to reply to this, but see that HaywireMac beat me to the punch. My brother didn't seem to have any trouble setting his DSL up. His biggest problem is with the switch from W2K to MDK, but he's getting cussing less and less as time goes by <g>. He's got a Linksys in the mix though, too (as Haywire suggested), so it all looks like an ethernet connection to his system.
