John,

Will that wireless dhcp nat router work with a DSL line? I'm a software geek, don't know much about this hardware stuff. <g> I assume that I can also get wireless cards for my laptops at this website?

This *does* work like a network hub, correct? I have some kind of wireless access right now, but it will not work on the XP laptop, only the W2K laptop ... plus, it will not work for accessing the rest of the network, only the DSL line and I don't want to get something like that ... I want wireless network access to all my computers plus the Internet via DSL.

It includes so much stuff you may not need today but means you can cope no matter what. Friends visiting and wanting to collect e-mail? Plug them in, you've got 4 ports. Bought a new notebook with wireless? Just set it up (make sure you turn on encryption so the weasel across the road can't piggyback). It takes about 5 minutes to configure, make sure you add a filter to block all incoming traffic. That baby works- I've asked my techo's to hammer it, it is a brick wall.
