I have a question about this. I've read about this for ages and sort of get the idea, running out of numbers basically. There's two questions that I can't answer tho. I have a old Linksys router, the old blue thing that is so common. Would I have to buy a new router? I also have a older DSL modem, it's a old Westell black box. Would this require a newer modem as well? I'm thinking those boxes would have to have software at least that would support the newer addresses but nothing I've read really answers those questions. I don't know if they even update software on those old things. Thoughts?? Dale :-) :-)
