SunSpot - a couple of comments on your post - First, in this country, the ADSL addresses are not static but are assigned DHCP. Also contrary to your comment, I found Win2K to be by far the easiest to set up for home networking of any Windows product. Install 2 NICs, connect one to the DSL line and the other to your home network. Then just click on "share this connection" in the properties box for the DSL NIC and Voila! that box acts as a DHCP server for the home network, routes all traffic correctly and also presents only a single address to the DSL supplier. Hard to imagine that this could be any easier - you just take the defaults clear through. Also don't understand the comments about sharing files - file and print sharing is pretty much point and click on the object you want to share. I agree that ME is better for some multimedia stuff but I don't have enough experience to say for sure what it is good at...
