I also would like a switch to be able to set up a lan between the pc's at home. Personally I would favour a netgear solution but some of the don't allow port forwarding and even though I don't know at the moment if I will need this, I do want a product which is capable of doing that:-) What are the best freebsd compatible routers? Will te fact that I use freebsd on my laptop be a serious constraint? Brgds __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
