Should be OK, but you'll need some way to get the Ethernet from the cable modem to the IIsi, since I'm assuming that your peecee needs to be hooked directly to the cable modem and only has one Ethernet port on it. You might have to buy another Ethernet card for the peecee. While it will be significantly more expensive, I'd go with the router anyway, because it's more expandable later and significantly less wasteful of electricity (since eventually you won't want to use that Win2K box any more and you'd just have to leave it on in order for the IIsi to work :-p)... p _____________________________________________________ the pickle The FAQ <http://macfaq.binhost.com/> The Archive <http://www.jmug.org/software/thepickle/> _____________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
