hi graystone

what a great reply.... very detailed and informative. i will be referring back to it as i proceed.

since the linksys.com help site makes this statement....

"Some cable or DSL modems use a crossover cable to connect to the Router, so check to see which type of cable your modem uses."

... i'm going to first try the new set up using the existing crossover cable (from cm to nic) as the cm to router connection. i'll use straight-through for the other connections.

i appreciate your advice regarding a NAT, a firewall and an av program as the ultimate protection, and that fits with all that i have read on the topic.

re, "It helps if you have someone to blame when the sparks fly as well, heheheh, I always blame Microsoft, it is easy and they don't mind."

terrific idea. i'll hold on to that plan as well!

:)
