I found that I couldn't get a reliable wireless connection from my laptop - so much so that I had to power cycle the box to reset it. It was a real pain. having initially gone for a one-box solution I went to the other extreme and got a Netgear DG832 - just an ADSL modem / router with one ethernet port to which I connected an 8-port switch. I have a couple of WAPs/routers that I plugged in to the switch. That kept hanging as well so I got myself a Cisco SOHO97 ADSL modem/router/switch which has been rock-solid (touch wood). It's also much more versatile than a "domestic" router - for example, I've got a block of 8 IP addresses allocated to me and I re-direct each one to a different internal host. Anyway, that's geting rather OT! R. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
