Greetings ( + )!( + ) That's good advice Richard, however Roxylee said that she has a DSL modem, and not all DSL modems have an ethernet connection, or should I say that when the ISP configured the connection they may not have use the ethernet port. So before your advice can have any relevance Roxylee will need to verify that the DSL modem being used is configured for ethernet. ---------------------------------------------------- On Dec 26, 2006, at 6:09 PM, Richard Meyeroff wrote: > > > You need a Router/Switch.
