With a router your line goes to the router to feed all machine on there and not to your one machine (server say)so yes you don't need all machines on.

Ok not an expert on these things but reading the article I should say yes thats one reason I sent you to that site.
Note:
This unit requires an external Cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet RJ-45 interface.
Which is what you have on a Lan connection

Can't see how this connects to anything as only one cable I take it that goes into your phoneline does it have any other holes anywhere for the Ethernet RJ-45 in/out anything at all.
