I don't have DSL or cable broadband. I have a Direcway satellite broadband,
which hooks up via a USB port to computer #1, leef. I do not have the DHCP
enabled on the wireless router, so it acts just like a switch for the
wireless connections, so they can connect to the workgroup and access the
satellite connection on #1.. The router is connected to the wired pc
workgroup via a ethernet cable to the network switch. The networks switch
for the wired workgroup (STUDIO) is a netgear and each port is autosensing.
