Thanks for asking. We're still running as before.
I hooked up a seperate router but having problems. The interent connection
slowed WAY down.
Put it back like it was and haven't had a chance to work on it. Not sure
what we're/I'm doing wrong?
All I did was disconnect my two wire connections (one is wireless) and
hooked into "my" router. My systems can see each other and I can swap files,
etc. but the net connection is SLOW...
I was going to ask for assistance first of next week, if it slows down and
try some different settings, etc..

Anything I might try or read up on?
