Hey Rick,

Here is a good URL that I found that might help you in setting this up. 
I used it and others, but this one should do it.  It will guide you 
through the setup.  Also, since you are on DSL, you do have a Firewall 
installed, right???  Anyways here is the url:

http://www.linuxvalley.it/encyclopedia/ldp/howto/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO

There are many others out there.  Do a google search on DSL HowTo and 
you will get a bunch.  Goto :

www.google.com/linux

HTH.
