I've also added a new machine to my household and want to share a DSL between two PCs. I'm sure I want to have a router with firewall, but I'm unsure about which one to buy. I want to share the existing printer now hooked up to one machine (actually also hooked up to a Macintosh computer, but the printer is taking care of the sharing between the Mac and the PC).

Should I buy a router with a built in print server, or is that overkill for a two machine network? I assume I can set up the printer connected to my Windows 98 SE machine (the other is Windows 98) as a shared device. I don't want to use up a router port and buy a converter to connect the printer to the router.

Any suggestions for configuration and router recommendations would be appreciated.
