That's a very good point. I don't plan on expanding any more than that but you never know. If I buy the above setup, then I will have: 1. Linksys WRT54G - 3 useable ports, 1 port connected to switch 2. Linksys 16 port switch - 15 useable ports, 1 port connected to router That will...

Thank you so much for your replies guys. I did a little research on OpenWrt and it sounds great for my needs. It's like getting an enterprise level router/firewall. It does sound a bit complicated to setup reading through their FAQ but I think I can manage it. This is the hardware I plan...

I currently have an 8 port SMC router. I need to add about 6 or 7 more machines to the network. I was thinking about replacing it with a 16 port router since this router is kind of old but I haven't had any luck finding one with more than 8 ports. Should I buy another router and use the...

From reading through the entire thread, I think I'm going to buy from either foambymail or mark's 1/2 price bedding. foambymail eBay deal: 3" 5 lb. sensus full size foam top 5" 2.8 lb high density full size foam base cover with zipper = $275 + $75 shipping = $350 total for an 8" tall mattress...

those verbatims sound pretty good.

Thank you very much for this thread. It helped me a lot wiring the network at my office. I ended up using a 24 port patch panel and everything seems to work great. And I'm dying to see that Interop pic. :)

Ummm, ok. I'm at work right now but I'll post pics when I get home tonight.

I received my watches yesterday evening. They look great! I don't see anything buffed off the back and they come with all the paperwork such as the manual, warranty, etc. I definitely give these guys two thumbs up! :)

Thanks a lot guys! Fixed the problem.

I have three computers in the network. Two are Windows 2000 and one is Windows 98. The Win98 machine can see both Win2k machines. The first Win2k machine can see the Win98 machine but not the other Win2k machine. The second Win2k machine can't see any of the machines. All the hard drives on...
