I don't know what hardware you have but the correct way to hook it all up is

modem to router and then Both systems to router

ya i know thats the correct way but as i said it wont worked cause i have the "home" adsl n the isp "sees" that im sharin it n it wont work ... i tried it. my router is a d-link di-704p revision A.

There is static ADSL which is what you called "office DSL', there is Dynamic addressed ADSL which is what you called "home DSL". You can share both of them differently...

Static ADSL usually includes a Router which lets the PCs connect to the internet on the Local (LAN) network. It usually includes a hardware firewall and several static IP addresses and can use DHCP to assign those addresses to PCs connected to it, making available the service easier. All the PCs connect directly (more or less) to the Router.

Dynamic ADSL usually includes a DSL Modem which connects to one PC. You can do Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on that PC and by so doing share the service to another PC or to a Switch/Hub to more than one. It works but involves burdening the ICS computer with more than its share of the load so it runs much slower than it does on static setups. ICS is a service you have to install on that first PC.
