Rob - thanks for such a quick reply.

I should have been more clear in what I meant. I'm only looking to move up to gigabit hardware for the benefit of streaming to/from a NAS drive. I understand that my cable can only go 10mb tops.

don't routers assign internal ips (nat) through dchp though? currently all of my home network runs off 192.168.x.x addresses distributed from the prosafe.

in reality my holy grail would be to keep the prosafe as a filter for the cable then pass that through to the switch which connects all the computers and gives them access to a gigabit nas drive and a filtered cable connection. is this possible? any suggestions for specifics (gigabit or nas) still much appreciated.

cheers,

drable
