I had a Linksys sytem and I had nothing but trouble with it. I went to a Belkin system and it hasnt given me one iota of grief. I never reccomend Linksys wireless items to anyone anymore.

You just needed to replace the firmware with DD-WRT and put a linux kernel on that Linksys Box... heck you can even host a web server from them...

Too bad you can't do that with all the Linksys routers.

I have a D-Link DIR-655 and it works great.

Dude. I don't even know what language you are using.

Yes. I am a computer dumbass and plug and play is about all my knowledge when it comes to hardware and software.

Hey DA,
If you ever need help with anything computer related just ask. I'd be glad to help with what I can.

The great thing about computers is you can never learn it all and just when you think your close they change it all and you have to learn it all over again.... It works wonders for my Adult Attention Deficit Disorder; just when I get board and need a change there is a new technology to learn.
