Can I connnect multiple computers to Internet simultaneously with Unified Hardware Platform DSL modem?

Will the Unified Hardware Platform (UHP) DSL modem allow more than one computer to connect to the Internet at the same time?

No Summary

No. By design, the UHP DSL modem itself will only allow one computer to connect to the Internet at one time. If an attempt to browse the Web is started while another computer is already connected, a screen will appear in the web browser requesting the DSL account password. Once the password is typed in, the Internet connection will switch to the new computer. The original computer will no longer be connected to the Internet. However, with EarthLink Home Networking or a customer supplied router, the router will allow more than one computer to connect to the Internet at the same time.
