RE: Networking Help for an Absolute Beginner Please
Personally,
I would go and get a Linksys or one of the other inexpensive DSL/Cable
routers. They are easy to install and provide a limited amount of firewall
capabilities.

Subject: Networking Help for an Absolute Beginner Please
I need basic references to get started.
The problem: My daughter's company has instructed her to install DSL to
facilitate working from home when she is on-call. She is a system
manager for a complex Tandem computer network - i.e. a computer wiz who
doesn't know or care beans about Windows or Debian.
At present our home has three standalone PC's and two internet service
providers - mine using Debian, my daughter's using Windows (internet
browsing and online banking) , and my grandsons' using Windows (homework
and gaming). I am a retired physicist who likes to play with hardware
and keeps everything running. Until now there was no need to network
and I have paid no attention to the subject. Now I need to learn fast
and make the necessary hardware decisions. I would appreciate any
comments or suggestions.
