Phree since you are now a self proclaimed Network guru it seems, tell me WHY I should need a very expensive Cisco deal? or an overly complex waste of hardware to build a Linux router?

I run a linksys, it does EVERYTHING I need...blocks what I dont want, and NAT's what I want, and supports IPSEC. What more you need?

I swear, people who preach about network routers for homes sometimes amaze me with how impractical their advice is. damn kids...

Everyone, also since you are going to buy a chunk of Cisco for your network now, how about you switch over to fiber also, I mean you wouldnt want someone to be able to tap in too easy and listen in as you download porn on your insecure CAT5 would ya?....
