jmaccrar, Chris, Hayes, Ben, Bryan, I do realize that most of you have moved on to wireless lans. I have NOT. I still do not find wireless secure. Excuse me. Yes, I do see that wireless has gotten better. Not "better" enough for me yet. I do accept that I might be a late acceptor.
I have a wired lan. Will continue to have a wired lan. No plans to change in the immediate future. Hell, I'm still doing my cat5e drawings for this house! Hayes, Noticed and visited your link re DLink. Was a wireless solution. Did find the DGL-4100, which seems to be the "wired" brother to your rec. It may be the solution. Really hate to retire a very solid RT-314. But, ... :) Can I hire someone with Nero and a fast broadband connection for a download and record of a bootable CD/ISO? I'm willing to kiss a w2K machine goodbye and give that Clark Connect business a whirl. Read the quick install/start-up pdf a read. Does not look too painfull to me. I'd even think about getting a <40GB eide hd for (machX) if doable, and let it be CC/RHLinux. Great suggestions! Days of thoughts! This group is tops!
