Default Router Modem conflict

Sounds like you should have the router connected to the highspeed modem
[cable/DSL] and let your network connect via the router. The router would
then assign IP addressing for the networked computers and printer [if a true
network computer].


Yes, that was my original setup, since last weekend and that is what I
went back to.
I thought that seperate NIC's would be more secure,but that is not the
case. The router is more secure,no more pop-ups on my ZoneAlarm.
I will assuage my fears by installing a RJ45 switchbox, to physically
disconnect the 2 machines when I don't need to print.
