Hello Ed: How about a Belkin F5D7230-4 Wireless Router? I've never succeeded in using it for anything. Maybe this is where I will finally get started with it. Are you suggesting that once I get it configured I could just leave it plugged into the wall and simply connect both notebooks to it wirelessly any time I'm in the office? I suppose I could also connect it to the aDSL modem. However, I'm concerned about security to a fair degree. Now that I think about it, I believe the modem may have more than one wired output (a simple switch?). I'll have to look at it tomorrow. Am I on the right track? Thank You, - Mark Mark Henigan --
