It may not work. Be very careful when you purchase such router. The stores are full with Edimax routers that DO NOT WORK with cable Internet Israeli edition for some very simple reason - their configuration possibilities are very limited. They allow you to choose either DHCP or PPTP, but not BOTH and, of course, not one above another. Purchasing such a router for my small home network of 2 PCs plus me being extremely bored of seeing a lot of unrequested "martian" packets travelling freely along the DHCP-driven circle, or Windows XP connecting through "shared connection" of another cable user and not via "lawful" PPTP connection, finally made me to switch to ADSL. Surprise, surprise - the router works almost perfectly ( it needs to be reset sometimes, after prolonged use of p2p programs that create a lot of connections). > > Best Regards > > Yehoram Ben-Yaacov > > -- Regards, Alex Chudnovsky e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 35559910 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
