The Linksys wireless router may well run Linux, so you might be OK. :-) Dynamic DNS is the proper solution to this, and there are several free onces out there that the Linksys should work with - basically the router tells the dynamic DNS host what its IP is everytime it changes. I think

Recommended PCI gigabit ethernet card?

I have a cheap gigabit nic ($20) in my system and suspect it is slowing down throughput so I'd like to upgrade it. I did the google linux thing. Half were error reports, half were from 2004, half were sales reviews, etc (yeah, that 100%). The Linux HOWTOs are 2004 and earlier so there's
