Is it an ethernet cable from the modem to the router?
Gary


Your modem plugs into the wall, your router plugs into your modem, your Ethernet port plugs into your router. - You connect via TCP/IP DHCP Server, after setting AppleTalk to Ethernet.

OK, let me see if I understand this correctly- the DSL modem plugs into a router, which can understand PPPoE, and it connects to my computer(s) via ethernet, and talks to them via TCP/IP. What kind of connection is it between the modem and the router? Will this router also serve to network printers, etc? How does a router relate to a web browser , or to put it another way, what could cause a router to require a certain browser capability? I am currently running IE 5.1.7. Can I choose a little bit older router to "fit" that? As you can see from all these questions, up to this point I've been blithely unconcerned about routers.

Thanks for everyon's input.
