Hi, R.A., I appreciate your answer. It helped me understand what I need. I just have one doubt. You've reccommend me to get rid of the USB stuff. Is Ethernet better than USB? Won't I be able to use my USB ADSL modem any more with this connection you wrote about? Should I get an Ehternet modem? is there any Ethernet modem/router? Thanks so much, and best regards to you.
