I currently have a network setup like this:

computer A —\> USB ADSL Modem —\> Internet  
/  
|  
|  
Linksys Router  
/  
|  
|  
computer B

How do I set things up such that computer B can connect to the internet via computer A’s connection?

I tried simply right clicking on the internet connection on computer A and sharing it, but it then assigns my LAN connection a static IP address and computer A no longer becomes part of the network (or so it seems, as I cant access my router from it).
