Possible to use ADSL wireless router as an access point?

[Jonny69]

Got a mate who has bought a Netgear DG834GT wireless ADSL router in error off the bay. He has cable broadband rather than ADSL so can't use it directly. Save him getting another one is it possible to hook up the Netgear one to his DSL modem which had an ethernet output and use it as an access point?

Do you mean if it is able to assign multiple IP addresses? If so I'm not sure about that.
