Hi Mark,

Thanks... that is what I wanted to hear!! I will spring for the single port Linksys Router ($89). My other stuff from the DSL folks is due here any minute!

I am getting a static IP address and a month to Month deal including 24Hr unlimited internet access for $54/month. Could have gotten a better deal but they wanted a year contract and I am trying to sell my house to go 'who knows where'.

In exchange for the $54 (and a $150 upfront charge for modem and connect fee - no installation) I can trade in two ISP's ($44) and one phone line ($27).

Thanks again

Ken

>YOu can do it very easily with a router. My DSL line goes to my DSL modem. The ethernet cable goes from the RJ45 port in the DSL modem to my LinkSys router. Then I have the router connected to my 10/100 hub. I have the router configured as a DHCP server and all my workstation are now connected directly and constantly with internet access.

This is so coooool, and you will be most happy with this. I had it for a year before my ISP and the DSL provider split up and I had to switch DSL providers. I was without DSL for a month and was totally miserable.
