I'm currently running ISDN via a router and hub setup, if I move to ADSL what solutions are there for running multiple PC's - I ask the question 'cos most ADSL connections are via USB.
TIA

you can get a adsl modem router with 4-port (all in one), therefore can do without the usb modem.
have a look at www.seg.co.uk and www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk for netgear DG814, d-link DSL-504 and vigor 2600.

Broadbandbuyer is run by a scoobynetter and I believe he's mentioned a 5% S'Net discount before....

well, the cheapest of the cheap (and by no means less on features or performance) for a 1-port adsl modem/router is £52+VAT (£61.09) or a 4-port adsl modem/router is £64+VAT (£75.19).
with a router, you dont need to keep any PC on, just plug network cable into the router and you got internet sharing.

A firewall adds to the security of pure NAT (actually PAT ) by ensuring that TCP sessions are monitored etc. Too many people also set up a default internal forwarding address which negates the benefits of being hidden by PAT.

Deano,
All the Routers I have looked at and reviewed with the intention of giving to our customers come with Port Address Translation (PAT) as an option but by default it is turned off. Some customers have opened port 25 to a specific private IP in order to have SMTP mail but we recommend this type of user takes a No-NAT config from us and then install a hardware firewall which then runs NAT (for stuff originating from within the LAN) and PAT (for stuff originating from outside of the LAN coming in)
Are you doing it differently?

Nope - Just diff in terminology. For me, NAT is 1 to 1 mappings of Outside to Inside Addresses and vice versa (not particulalry relevant for BB setups - but very relevant for my day-to-day stuff.) PAT is Hiding all internal addresses behind one Outside NAT address.
For the mapping of ports to internal addresses tend to call
it "port forwarding".
Too many home users find the "default inside address" and just let everything incoming through and leave it at that - Killing many of the advantages they'd just gained themselves by having a NAT/PAT firewall.
