Default Router setup - without broadband connection?

Here's the scenario: I do not have any broadband internet access. My
girlfriend and I access the internet via dial-up through our own
computer's modems (FYI, mine has Windows XP SP2, hers has Windows
2000). We'd like to have high-speed in the future, but right now we
can't afford it. I bought a Dlink Wireless G Router (WBR-1310), hoping
to network both our computers together for file sharing and such.

Here's the problem: the included software with the Dlink router insists
on there being a broadband modem hooked up in order to configure the
router. There's no way around it. Plus, every FAQ I've read on Dlink's
site (and other sites too) does not cover any scenarios like mine, in
which there is no cable/DSL modem. All I'm looking to do at this point
is network our computers, that's it.

Can anybody help me out please?
