router

I am looking to buy a router/firewall for a dual boot rh7.2/winME system and was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on one to buy. It's just for two computers the other is a win98, so I really don't want to spend a lot. Thanks

Linksys and 3Com are a couple that are reasonably popular and fairly priced - you can probably find a 3Com in a fire sale somewhere as I heard they are getting out of the Home market.

I just bought a linksys BEFSR41 router. I have a similar configuration - I have one Windows and one Linux computer in my apartment.

I gut it up and running within ten minutes of unpacking it. It's very easy to use and setup. I reccomend it.

I might be able to help you if you have questions configuring it as I have been playing with it for the past five days. Consequently, I know what to do and what not to do when tweaking the configuration.
