Besides all the good advice you have from others on this thread do consider how exactly your daughter will connect into her work network. Presumably she will use VPN tunnel product. Some of these don't work too well through a NAT, or don't work with all NAT products. I don't know much more about this, but I can say it is a real problem with my employer. My DSL modem + NAT claims IP Sec pass through and so on, but I have never been able to connect. Frankly, I don't mind. When I'm home, I'm home :-) Cheers!
