I'm also at your end of the world - Melbourne to be a little more specific. As Lanman said, anything with an ethernet connection will cause you no grief, but perhaps it's a good move to first check what you want to do with it. i.e. If this is just a desktop using the internet, then it would make sense to use a modem/router, so you have a degree of firewall protection built right in and can plug in additional machine directly with a minimum of hassle. If your main purpose is to have the attached machine run as a server, then a straight modem running it's own firewall might be more appropriate. HTH Brian
