Hello Ptuing--
Well, if you have high speed internet access through DSL, you must be aware of
one very important thing-- your internet protocol. In DSL it is **static**,
but in cable it is **not**! Basically, with DSL, you **must** if your PC is
always on; get a firewall. The bad thing, however, if your firewall is on the
PC you wish to protect, the hackers will be attempting to break through your
firewall which is **on** your PC?!?!?!?! One of my friends who works in the
I.S. department at USAA told me what is the use of that?
As result, my wife and I went wireless, as I mentioned in the initial E-mail
which started this entire string because we wanted to use cable, and as Mike
stated at all areas of the home, (by the way we just purchased a new home) and
I did not want wires laying all over the place. We also purchase a router
which is our firewall and to say one more time-- cable is not an internet
protocol where the connection is static!
