Hello all.

I have a Mac running through a Belkin 4-port wired router to cable modem, and IT WORKS well, and has for 9 months or so.

We've recently acquired a 2nd hand Mac laptop, and I want to plug it in to the router to access the www. Should I be aware of any pitfalls, or is it just a question of plugging it in and off we go?

(Just a by the way: I have a router purely because I had enormous problems with ntl/virgin who wouldn't accept that I couldn't bypass their old MAC lock, and the only work-round was to buy and install a router, which fooled them and worked).

Thanks.

Allen.
