D-Link 604 Router w/ USB Modem. How to configure?

Hello there. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I have BellSouth ADSL and connect to it with a USB DSL Modem. I have 2 other computers I'd like to share this connection with. I bought a D-Link 604 Router and have all the computer connected to it. However, I am not sure what is the best way to configure the Router since my DSL modem is USB and I can't hookup it up directly to the WAN/Uplink port. The router's IP is 192.168.0.2. I think I am suppose to use that address as the "gateway" for the other computer connected to the network. However, I don't know how to setup the router to share a connection like this... anyone have any experience with this router and might be able to help me work out a solution? Basically, I want to use the router as a hub/switch.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Oh yeah, btw -- the computer that is connected to the internet (via USB Modem) has a network card installed and that is how I hooked it up to the router. Same goes for the other two PCs connected.

Not 100% sure but you may need a second network card to connect to the WAN port to share the connection. I have some issues with mine but they are totally different than what you have. Not real familiar with the usb modems.

Try asking you ADSL provider for a regular modem, unless the USB modem is yours.
