1 question about the homeplugs though:

Right, obviously you need to plug the ethernet lead from the cable modem to 1 homeplug, but how can you secure the cable modem from the info leaking into somewhere else?

Lemmi make it easier:
you have security software that comes with the homeplugs to protect your data, but how would you go about protecting your SACM from someone else that has a homeplug (as it is stated that the data MIGHT leak out of your home)

Do they have a unique code like a MAC address or something?
I can see its fine if you only want to network a few PC's together, but with the introduction of a cable modem, how would you protect this?
