I need help trying to network or share broadband internet between 3 devices.

I have 2 PCs (WIN XP Pro) and an Xbox which I want to get online. I want to be able to run at least two of the devices at the same time, sharing a Verizon DSL connection. I suppose my first question is, "Can I even do this?"

I bought a DLink 604 Router from Office Max and have downloaded the latest firmware. When the computer in the living room is on the Internet in my room, either the PC or the Xbox, runs extremely slow. I get so much lag in the XBox Live games that I'm kicked off the match and the Internet on the PC is so bad that the websites take literally minutes to load up. I get a lot of "website so-and-so has time out messages". When I check my IP address on the PC in my room via ipconfig in the cmd prompt it gives me the default 192.168.0.1 jazz.

I am absolutely retarded when it comes to networking devices, but I have friends who run multiple computers off a DSL connection and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Do I need to assign IP addresses? What? Any tips or tricks or anything that will lead me to get a solid Internet connection would be greatly appreciated. I really need a solution because it's getting annoying when my family is playing on SLingo.com int eh other room and I can't even check my e-mail in mine.

PLEASE help!
