Check with Best Buy.  I picked up a D-Link Router/Switch for $30 before
rebate, $20 after rebate.  I had pieced a system together just for that
express purpose so now I get to make it a Linux server for my files so
that I can move all my machines to Linux from Doz.  Just my 2 cents...

Yep! It's money!  I need to conserve right now and I have the cards so
i
figgered I could get this working like this.  Yes I have a Cox
connection.  I
may have to find a router somewhere a little cheaper or something.

thanks,
Nate
