    Akira, you've already answered your own question. The internet stopped working for both of them when you tried this kind of setup.... since, it's not possible.

    You can't have two DSL providers using the same line. Now... what you can do, is have your phone company come out (for a serious fee), set up a second independent line in which you can then separate your ISP's connections to the two computers.
