Hey Mitch! I have an Alcatel DSL modem (& Sympatico as an ISP) and I had it hooked up to a Net Gear router not too long ago. I connected my G4 and a 7300 or two without any problems at all. What exactly is "Entourage"? I've heard of it before, but have never come across it. I use the mail program in OS X (10.2.4) and it is excellent. No problems and I appreciate the way it catches 95% + of that junk mail that finds its way to my inbox. Considering this is the 1st time this type of question has arisen, I am inclined to fault the HP router. I hear that some routers don't work as well on our macs as they do on the afterbirths they try and pass off as clones. Personally I would stay WAY CLEAR of anything that is HP. Been there, done that, never going back again. KOG (too many Kevins on these lists) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
