Glad to help. Its an interesting concept, I am concerned about the security issues though. When cable modems were first starting up there were security concerns because of the cable nodes were considered to be on the same local network. A friend of mine tried it when he got a cable modem and yes he was able to check out some of his neighbour's files. The neighbour didn't believe him until Ted game him printed copies of some of the guy's very bad poetry.
