Siberianmo, congrats on the new net links. We've managed to "borrow" part of dad's home office broadband line (so we effectively get free internet "on the company" - we've checked and they're ok with this). One point though: make sure you have a good firewall. I would recommend Zonealarm - there's a free edition on the site (though it takes a little finding) that does all you'll need, when installed it just sits in the task bar and does its job without fuss. I know WinXP SP2 has a firewall built in but don't ask my opinion of this - it's not printable! Zonealarm is a lot more solid. Broadband without any firewall is an open invitiation to hackers of all types, so a firewall is essential. Hope this is helpful!
