My router (SMC Barricade) has 4 ports for computers (or another hub or switch) along with the input and print server port (which I have not tried to use). Overall it took me about 5 minutes to install and get working, and I most likely over estimated that as I didn't time it, but it was really quick. The instruction book had directions for both PC and Mac set up, which is more than can be said about the Linksy router (from what I hear they have no Mac support, but will work) HTH -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ 6400/200 w/ Sonnet G3/300/1 eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
