er...DSL?

you mean cable?

no, it will not work. DO NOT BUY ANOTHER MODEM! get a router! a router splits up your internet connection. 2 ports, 3 ports, 4 ports (i have a four port wireless, i can have up to 100 wireless comps on my network at the same time) or 5 or 6 or 7 etc. cheap cheap cheap ones at www.bestbuy.com
