Hmmm.. Bromley area - I'd happily tell you our address so you can pop round but my wife might run off with you

Really easy to setup. In most cases, just plug in, follow simple instructions and good to go.
Wired routers often come built in with a firewall of some kind too so no need to worry.
If you don't use a router the only problem I can see is that you would have to power everything down each time you want to change connections so modem recognises the computer that is connected.

Thanks for that - what you describe is what I occasionally have to do now as I sometimes use an old (W98) PC which I connect to the web via the USB connection on the modem. Since I don't have to do this sort of thing often it's no big issue powering everything off/on and switching connections. If it becomes tiresome I guess then I'd go for the router but I might have a look around in the shops anyway and see what I can find.
Cheers everyone
