I decided just to end up calling D-Link Tech support, and this is what they told me; 1) I need to have one end plugged into the modem. 2) It will not effect the real ips. 3) If the router goes down, everyone will be down :( Then I asked him how often it goes down, and he said his goes down about 2 or 3 times a week. That scares me. - Tyler Hall http://www.nerdie.org
