At present I am running a hub and sharing a slow 56 baud Dial Up with three other Computer all running Windows XP and my computer has a network card and a modem to do this.
Today I installed a wireless/DSL and am wondering if I could still run through my computer but instead of the modem. I just install a second 10/100 network card.
(DSL IN / DSL OUTof my computer) later I will do the correct thing and use a router.......Will this work as I have a spare network card ??

If your computer has two network cards (one for DSL, one for LAN), you
can enable Internet Connection Sharing on the DSL connection just like
you've previously done on the dial-up connection.
