cdtaylor...thanks for the reply.
What model from D-Link are you using? I thought I would need the router to hook up the desktop just to avoid buying a wireless card for that machine by plugging the connection into its existing ethernet card.
Also...I'm still trying to figure out this format issue for the different DSL standards...anyone care to take a run at this? I'd be using the DSL Modem in the middle-east, where the wiring standards are UK.
Thanks.
