text: 2wire dsl gateway? my 2wire 1000sw wireless gateway says in the configuration that i can hook upto a phone line and be on dsl and still not hold up my phone does any one know how to do that? since you are on dsl, you should be able to use the phone and be on the internet simultaneously regardless of your dsl modem. you just need to connect your computer(s) to your 2wire 1000sw and install line filters to all of your telephone devices and you should be good to go.  with a 2wire 1000sw, you should be able to connect your computer(s) through ethernet cable, usb cable, hpna or even wireless.  i recommend that you connect your main computer using an ethernet cable since it is the fastest and most reliable.   you can go to http://support.2wire.com for more information.  cheers! :)
