You actually don't need to do this, unless you want to. Even if the ISP
only gives you one IP address, the DSL modem will take that address. Then,
you can have the DSL modem do NAT (Network Address Translation) and connect
all the computers directly up without having to share the connection.

Shouldn't have a problem, but I'm not 100% sure on this answer.

I haven't had any, but others seem to have problems. I have now installed
on 4 machines without any problems.

I never did it in 8.1 or 9.1 so can't answer that one.
