   also, with the hub I was paying for 3 ip #'s from the ISP,  this router
box says all three systems can use the same address...anyway to tell if I've
already done that (all sharing the same address)or is each computer still
using the extra ip's from the cable company??

      All the ISPs tell you that you need a seperate IP for each computer in
your home.  But with a router you simply don't.  It's call greed. Just
connect your cable or DSL line to  your Linksys router. The IP# is the WAN
IP is what your router uses, and is what the rest of the net sees:
123.456.78.90. Your Router on the LAN side then starts off it's own assigned
IPs.

Router: 192.168.1.0
Comp 1  192.168.1.100
Comp 2  192.168.1.101
Comp 3  192.168.1.102

        Using any computer to host will require you to place that computer
in what is called the DMZ or open the ports needed, as the Linksys routers
firewall can't be altered or turned off.

        When I'm racing online I don't have to open up any ports or use the
DMZ.

Joel it's not greed.  They are a business, they have a right to charge for
service.

It's also part of proper network management.  They design "THEIR" network
based on a number of factors, one is usage per node.  With wireless
accesspoints readily available, some ISP's are watching this very closely.
They can tell if you're using a Linksys, even if you hide the fact, there
are other ways to tell if you're sharing the connection.

I'd recommend everyone read your ISP's acceptable usage guide/agreement.
They 'may' frown on sharing.  Most don't however and turn a blind eye.  But
if you're a heavy hitter on a segment they will go after you.

Ditto here, I love my Linksys router. I have no problems racing online on
Sierra with it - if I race on OLR though, there are a couple ports I have to
open.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
double-edged sword. It both emboldens the ***, just as it narrows the
mind.  And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the
*** boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no
need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry,
infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I
have done. And I am Caesar."   -- Julius Caesar

ummm, that's not true. I often race N2K2 at the same time as my son using a
Linksys Router and only 1 public IP.
