Hi Jim,
How is your current system connected to ADSL? That is to say the ADSL
modem part of it.
The ideal is a network card in each PC, with a cable going to a router,
and a network type ADSL modem hooked into the router. =20
If you can run to it, something like the Draytek Vigor 2600 series
routers combine both an ADSL modem and a hardware Firewall, and even a
USB port to which you can add a printer. Then it doesn't matter which
PC you have switched on. Either will access the Internet and print.
What I especially like about the Vigors is that if you have a static IP
address, then if needed, they can be configured remotely by someone who
has experience in that area.
If slinging cables round the house is a problem, there's always a
wireless option.
George.
