Re: [OT] Purchasing a wired switch; advice needed [question]
Thanx to all who shared their thoughts, you've been really helpful guys
(as always).
As many pointed out, the crux of the question is my ISP who's only
giving me one IP number. You've helped me understand why a switch won't
do and why a router is needed.
So, for the time being, I will keep the el cheapo router supplied by my
new ISP, and see how it goes. If it starts to give me trouble like the
old router did, I'll replace it with something more sturdy, with a
faster CPU and 64-128 MB RAM.
Or just wait for IP6 to become mandatory ... ;)
