Hi Frank,

Good to hear that everything is up and running...
Did you get "Internet Connection Sharing" working OK...?

As for a router, are you looking for a plain router or might you want to
have wireless access sometime in the future...?
Personally, all of my wireless/router equipment is Linksys. Not sure what
choice you have out there in Oz...

Installing the router should be quite easy, however your cable modem may
have some problems switching to a new MAC address (I know mine has to be
powered off for about four hours if I were to switch the device (router/PC)
that is connected to it). How do you cuurently connect to your cable
modem...? Is it a USB connection to the main PC...?

Thanks,
Andy.
