This is how I have it set up. Cable comes into the house -> cable modem provided by HOT -> router -> all the other computers. The router handles the 'dialing' and the other computers Just Work (tm). > 2 - Is cable as reliable as ADSL - speed, disconnects, etc? > Cable:yes Hot: no I have lots of problems with Hot disconnecting and very high latency. Hot blames Nezeq Beinleimi, Nezek blames Hot. I personally believe that Nezeq is to blame for the latency, but Hot is to blame for the _hours_ of downtime every month. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
