Is that a true router? Or is it just an ADSL modem? I have seen my ISP
issue modems that are based on routers, but with the router functions
disabled. They only assign a single RFC 1918 IP address, so only one
computer will ever get an Internet connection; without doing some fancy
footwork.

If your ADSL modem is only assigning a single RFC 1918 IP address, and has
no accessible configuration menus to turn on a DHCP service (akin to the
SpeedStream 4100 my ISP issues), you may be able to share the Internet
anyway by assigning static IP addresses to the other computers.

As an example, if your one computer gets IP address 192.168.0.64, try
manually assigning IP addresses from 192.168.0.65, and up, on the computers
not getting connected. You will also have to manually set the gateway IP
address, which is the IP address on the modem, and the DNS sever IP
addresses, which you can find by running ipconfig on the Internet connected
computer.
