Don't have him bring his router, he'll need to completely reconfigure it to work with your DSL connection.

How about buying a 4 port switch from Compusa, shouldn't be more than $20 or so.

I agree - we just need a switch here.

If you have an existing router with extra LAN ports or a WiFi connection then you are all set.

Yep yep.

doesnt he have a wifi card?

if he has a wifi card, no problem connecting to the airport. if he doesn't, an ethernet hub will work if your provider authorized multiple computer ( ip addresses )to sign in at the same time. (with airport only one ip address is used so your provider doesn't know more than one computer is connected).

Apple airports only have a 1 wan and 1 lan connection point. As far as wireless is concerned he can't use it to access the secure part of his company's site. Something to do with security. Actually i believe that he may know less about this stuff than I do because I thought anyone with a wifi connection should be able to access their company's computer site if you have the right information. But apparently they have something inplace that prevents him from accessing a part of the site that is secure. The last time he was here and made a connection it screwed up my Airport settings and it took a while to get the Airport back to where it needed to be.
