Okay, will check into router.
Is there anything to be aware of re. router and security as I step into the cable modem / always on world soon?
On good advice I have not been using TCP/IP with my small LAN for File & Printer Sharing as a way of preventing unauthorized access from the Internet - used NetBeui instead since it is non-routable.
Are there functions / options of different routers that can control access from the Internet and give me confidence in leaving clients machines with VCN servers and tunnels running. I will be performing maintenance remotely but do not want to expose them to hackers, vandals, mistakes etc.

-------------previous message --------------------- Peter: Yes, it looks like your Ethernet network isn't working as well as it could be. I'd suggest removing the crossover cable, and connect the PC's thru a low-end router like the LinkSys BEFSR41. You can find one of those on EBay for less than $25. With one of those "in between" your PC's, you don't even have to specify an IP address. Just choose "Get IP Address Automatically" in the TCP/IP setup. That should work much more reliably.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
