Otherwise you have to use something like Windows XP > Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Wise cracks aside, lemme know if I understand correctly: a modem and a router are interchangable. Technically a modem is a dumb device that only accepts and forwards connections, a router is a computer itself that manages the connections/packets more intelligently. I believe my modem, is a genuine router. Let me know how I can verify it.

Most "high speed" Internet service modems are "bridging" devices and that is all. The Internet service will be assigning an IP to the PC's connection to the modem.
