Ah. Sounds like an important detail to be aware of. Thanks.
Can anyone enlighten me on the potential router/web browser
relationship issues hinted at below?
And am I correct in my thinking that data can be exchanged among all
the components plugged into a router, i.e. file sharing between
multiple computers, multiple computers to a printer, multiple
computer access to the internet, etc.?
TIA,
Gary (router newbie)
Yes. Cat 5, not crossover

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.
