And just to present an alternative view (on this BBS? ) ... I use and highly recommend the D-Link equipment. I use the DI-704 Broadband Gateway for my router, it includes a NAT Server, DHCP Server, hardware firewall & a four port 10/100 Switch. They also have a verion that includes a print server called the DI-704P . And versions that include a wireless port and 3 wired connetions, an 8 port switch, etc etc etc. I've been very happy with mine and have three friends who've bought DI-704's are are happy with them.

A quick search of Price Watch shows new DI-704P's starting at $53 plus S&H.

Either way, Linksys or D-Link, I suspect you'll be just fine. Good luck,
