I got tired of trying to determine which software would work best,
what computer to run it in, how to configure the network, blah blah.
So I bought the LinkSys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router. This is a
small firewall with a 4-port 10/100 hub built-in. Very nice package.
Allows internet sharing and provides security. I got it for $200 at
Fry's Electronics, and it sells for $158 at BUY.COM (but I see it is
backordered now:-(
I have tested this unit with the GRC.COM probe, and GRC says it can't
see anything but the router.
