"If I remember correctly, this modem >has a router (and firewall) built into it.

OK -- can someone recommend a proper hub/switch to connect my 2 iMacs to the 2Wire modem? This does make sense. ------------------------------------------------------------ Just log in to your D-Link router turn off the DHCP server and plug the 2wire into one of the LAN ports. Instant switch. If that solves your problem just return the router and get an switch any one will do. Personally I prefer Linksys or Netgear. If you can't return the D-Link or if the switch isn't any cheaper don't bother buying one, the router will continue to work as a switch just fine. If that doesn't solve your problems then that modem might just be having problems. You can pick up one cheap on eBay. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
