<< How is the Ugate+ product different from a NAT product such as Sygate ($39.95 for up to three PC's total, just the one @Home IP address required, others IP's private, www.sygate.com) of for that matter the NAT technology included with Win98SE (Internet Connection Sharing)? I use Sygate along with a $29.95 4-port plus 1 BNC hub, and it works like a charm. >> Hi Randy, The Sygate product is a PC software based solution. My priority was to get the software off the PC and onto a separate hardware device. If you are satisfied with a PC based solution, then great. There is no one right answer to solving this problem. I am sure we will see even better solutions forthcoming as the DSL/Cable market expands. All of the solutions I have seen so far still require a fair amount of knowledge to set up and configure. I have no doubt that solutions will be available soon that are basically plug and play that allow any user to easily set up. I added Cat5 cabling around the house so that a laptop can be plugged in anywhere. I doubt the average user will do that, so I would guess we will start to see some non-ethernet solutions that are less technical to deploy. It will be interesting to see how this all evolves. Take care, DN
