Migrate Airport from Mac+cable to PC+DSL



Gang,
My wife and I are hoping to sell our house soon. We currently have two
Macs (iMac G5, and Powerbook G4), internet provided via cable modem,
and an Airport Extreme base station (previous version) to network both
computers wirelessly.

When we sell, we're probably going to have to stay temporarily with my
parents until we buy our new home. My mom currently has a PC with DSL
internet service, and all hardwired.

Any suggestions on best how to jump on to her DSL system with our
computers and airport? Her computer is not set up for wireless, so it
will need to remain hardwired to the network. Can I simply unplug the
DSL modem from her computer and plug it into the airport base station,
and then run a cable from the base station to her PC? Will I need to
do any additional configuring on the PC to work this way? Will I need
to do any configuring on the Macs to work with this? Will I need to
make arrangements with her DSL provider to allow for more computers on
the system (our current cable provider does not)?

Thanks!
