Hey All,
I have probably spent the last 2 hours straight reading reviews at sites like www.practicallynetworked.com and I am having a hard time deciding what router to get. I like to host LAN parties and it would be nice to have a router that I could just plug into my 16 port switch and then just get online and get gaming. I have @Home internet and I am running WinXP.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

- I don't want to buy an extra IP address as I only need the extra IP if I were to have another computer here all the time.
- Is there a router out there that has an easy to intermediate setup that would allow me and my friends to game behind a NAT.
- I know games like CS and Q3 need to be configured to allow more than one person to play behind the NAT but are there routers out there that make it so you don't have to configure each and every game that you play?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
