All,

My current setup consists of the following:
NTL 2MB through the setup box, in the back room I have a socket on the wall that the USB convertor from the PC plugs into, this gives me my NTL connection. I have a NIC in the PC that goes out to a small 4port hub and have various consoles laptops plugged into this hub. They all connect to the web via ICS on the main PC!

Now I would like to removed ICS so I don't always have to have the main PC switched on..! Can I just have a router plugged into the NTL socket on the wall and all my devices plugged into the router ! Am I going to get problems with MAC addresses ! If I can use a router can anybody recommended one !

If you've made it this far then thanks for reading...

Thanks in advance for any help/advice...
