Best Answer

At the minimum, you will need a DSL modem and a computer with USB ports. Not all DSL modems support Windows 98 through USB, though. If your modem doesn't support Windows 98 on USB, then you will need at a minimum an Ethernet card and a crossover cable. If you want to share the connection with multiple computers, you need an Ethernet or Wi-fi router, and either a wireless card or Ethernet card and cable for each computer.

What are the benefits of using satellite broadband internet compared to DSL?

DSL is always the less expensive and usually more reliable than satellite broadband. The only reason to choose satellite broadband is if DSL and cable are not available in your area. There is no wiring necessary for satellite broadband internet and it is available with a permanent connectivity with constant bandwidth. You do not need a phone line and it may be available in rural areas where DSL is not available. Given a choice, I beleive most would choose DSL over satellite broadband. DSL will provide you with a faster and more stable connection when compared to satellite broadband.


Making The Most Out Of Your DSL Router?

If you own a DSL router, and you are having connectivity problems, the first thing you need to do is try and integrate your router with your windows operating system. Normally, businesses will try to tell you to troubleshoot with the router itself, but nine times out of ten, the router and the computer are conflicting. Ensure that your router and computer are communicating effectively. This can be done by running the installation CD, and looking into the available networks on your computer. If your router is not showing up, you will end up having problems from the very beginning.
