That you uplink to the router is 100mbit won't matter at all, as your internet connect is well below that. You will just have 7 unused ports on the router (less, if you have 100Mbit devices that you don't mind putting behind a single 100Mbit port, such as network printers, etc). 5 Port (4 usable, due to uplink to your router): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833129012 8 Port (7 usable, due to uplink to your router): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833129013 I personally like the realtek 8169 (many will call me crazy...) for PCI nics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166004 Two decent PCI-E options (marvel and realtek, I have used the Marvel, but it can get twitchy under link from time to time, have not touched the Realtek yet): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166015 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166019 Harry tallyhohoho fp At 02:35 PM 2/18/2008, DHSinclair Poked the stick with: Thank you to all who put up with my very many stupid questions!

[H] Old Router still works!
Thank you to all who put up with my very many stupid questions! The old (NAT only) rt-314 router is still alive and well. After many hours of peeking and poking, it is now fully happy and ready for spare work should my current router takes a powder. What was wrong? -The power brick was dead! Should have been outputting 12.0Vdc. Was outputting 0.774Vdc. (good thing I saved the original wall-wort!) -3 of my LAN client's web browsers were locked down too far to allow logon interchange with the router! Found this today with the client connected to the gw_router via telnet! Duh now fixed. -My own knowledge of proper subnet business. All in all, an interesting problem to solve, and, I've saved a really good old gw_router from the bin. Now, I can clean up the workspace and get back to FreeNAS! BTW, my conversion to full GBit-over-copper is complete. It works; and here, it is a noticeable improvement. Glad I waited 5 years to do the move. Will never go back to 100baseT unless under duress, or, cuz that's all I can do! It is all good. Thank you all, Duncan
