Wall jack - DSL filter - Modem - Router - Computers either wired to a NIC or through wireless to a wireless adapter.

For wireless, you need a wireless router. Most will have ethernet(network - the wider one) ports in the back just like a normal router, so if you want to put a wired connection somewhere, you can. I'm not too familiar with DSL, but with cable the line goes into the modem, then ethernet out of that into your computer's NIC (network card). I believe it's the same - correct if I'm wrong...
