However, if you have <= 3 computers, you _might_ get a long with Now I'm confused. Firstly, I certainly don't expect to plug the HOT modem into the ADSL plug. As I already wrote (see quote above), I thought I could plug the HOT modem into one of the ethernet ports. I may be missing something, but I don't understand why you say I wouldn't be able to use the NAT facility of the router. If the HOT modem plugs into one ethernet port and several computers use the rest of the ethernet ports on the router, why would the router not funtion. Of course it wouldn't be connecteted to the internet directly, but it would be connected to the HOT modem. Am I completely wrong aout this being possible?
