It can also take the MAC address of your current network card connection to the modem so the modem can't tell that you've changed devices which saves having to register the modem as a new PC to the modem. It also runs at 10/100, has a web based interface and looks pretty. Oh, and has built in DHCP and costs around £80 - you can get them most places (PC World, etc.). I recommend that you download the latest firmware once you have one - VERY easy to do. I've never had a problem with it, unlike the rest of my sh*tty Linuxless life Nice limerick by the way, Grannies can be great source of shocking surprises, I remember when mine asked me and my girlfriend if we were any good at necking.
