No I do not have a router. I have no objection to buying one (=quick trip to PC World) but would not be sure what to buy other than to stay with Belkin because that is the card type I have in the main machine. Looking at PCW site there seem to be all sorts of different types varying from £75-120. Guy in PCW was useless when I asked for advice - he clearly knew less than me.
Most of the router seem to be of a type 54g - which I know is faster but which I presume is still compatible with my 11b system.
I kept away from a wireless router so far because I have another pC linked to the main PC using wire/ internet sharing connection. That works fine and I do not want to disturb it. Having that system I must anyway have the main machine 'on' for the second tower to access the net. That is FINE because it means I can control access to the net by "younger" members of the household.
