Hi, nice notebook!!! This is the one I got this summer:

I might have already told you about it, I don't remember. :)

 I agree with Dean. I think you should replace the linksys router with a 
wireless router. It would take you less time to figure it out, and 
probably be easier to set up the security. I got this one: 
http://www.antonline.com/p_X-550-GP_213190.htm The instructions are 
really good, and you can set it up with mac filtering which is very, 
very secure, it means no other PCs can use your network except the ones 
you enter the mac addresses for. There is such a thing as mac spoofing, 
but the person would have to have your mac address and I think it's hard 
for others to get. I didn't really do a lot of research on that since 
I'm using WPA-2 with it also.

I hooked my printer to one of the ports and I can print from my laptop 
without turning on the desktop. Cool!

Sorry I didn't answer your last email yet.

your friend,
M
