Hello Tom As I am workin at a viennese ISP maybe I could give you some hints *g*
"the active cable box" => for me this sounds like a cable connection, here in Austria usually thru the company Chello. Chello does not chek the MAC adress of the router behind the cable box, you only have to set the Router's IP to the static IP given by Chello. So behind the Router you could setup your own network doin DHCP or static Ips with a private subnet. At home we are using a Netgear WLAN Router (and Windose, Mac and Linux) connected to the Cable Box and it works just fine - but I don't have any experiences with Belkin products. But I think as long as the Computer or Router handling the Connection uses the ISP given static IP, any setup should work fine. I hope I was able to give you some information about the austrian (yeah, it's austria AUT not australia...;-) cable broad band and if you have additional questions regarding austria just ask - we are friendly and open people .... Greetings from Vienna Thomas But beware - Chello sometimes cuts the Download rate if you try to use a file sharing app like Limewire *g* On 25.02.2005 13:57 Uhr, "Tom Adams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, Thanks for the help.
