Hi, Jim, I should have mentioned that I'm plugging the machines into the modem one at a time, switching back and forth. I've acquired a wireless router, but wanted to make sure that either machine can connect directly to the modem before tackling the router. The goal here is to have a second machine that can swap for the first if it goes down and in the meantime be used via a wireless connection. > Good luck dude! Thanks, Jim. I'm hopeful.
