Your friend either needs a better router or needs to RTFM for the one he has. Any home networking router should be configureable for PPPoE...and therefore will keep the connection up 24/7 and available to any node on the network. My Barricade has worked flawlessly with SBC. It worked flawlessly with cable before that, it was just the (Comcast) cable that sucked. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger
