I'm a networking newbie, and through judicious use of this forum (and others), I've gotten my wireless router set up with my two desktops (wired) and notebook (wireless--with MAC filtering and WEP). Thanks for all the help!

One question, though: I've considered getting a print server, but I have two USB printers: a laser and an inkjet. Could one use a USB print server with a USB hub to connect both? NewEgg (and others) have very affordable one port USB print servers--which would suit my needs perfectly.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

That would not work. The server has one address, and you print to a TCP/IP port. Most likely, niether printer would work right.
