Likewise, is the same true when the PC is connected to the DSL
modem/router using the USB ports on the respective devices?
To the best of my knowledge the answer is yes but need to confirm
it from the device gurus :)
Correct. However, very few router vendors for DSL offer bridged mode
on ethernet connect, when I saw last. USB by default bridges DSL and
USB.
