So, one trip to CompUSA, one examination of multiple Wireless Routers, and home again with a Netgear Cable\/DSL Wireless Router (MR814)<\/a> — NAT, SPI firewall, VPN accessible, 4 Ethernet ports and 802.11b wireless capability.<\/p>\nA few tweaks, a few twists … and, hey, presto — both machines tied in via wireless to the router. And it survives rebooting and everything. Huzzah!<\/p>\n
Once everything feels stable, I’ll get WEP installed, too, as well as looking what it does for firewall protection vs. the software on our PCs. I’ll also need to look at Cable Modems. We’re paying $3\/mo for ours, but new ones were about $70, so that’s a couple of years-worth. Alas, no router\/modem combos were to be had — but we’ll see.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I need to get my notebook connecting to Margie’s printer again. But that should be … well, no need to tempt fate.<\/p>\n
