>> My home wireless has been a big flop. 2 story wood frame, ....Also, my fixed ip dsl provider Bellsouth ... I had the same problem with my initial wireless rig in a similar house (2 stories + basement) - it turned out that the LinkSys I was using was just not pumping out a powerful enough signal. We changed to a D-Link unit and can now get reception all over the house including the basement (no good down there admittedly - but usable). The D-link is in a non optimum position in the second floor office. As to the BellSouth comments ... as others have said - if you use a WAP/Router this isn't a problem. My D-Link has four Ethernet ports (standard on most SOHO routers) and I have three machines hard wired into the router and two wireless PCs. If you buy a new wireless unit (they are dirt cheap right now) you may end up solving both problems with one unit. Jon Paris Partner400 www.Partner400.com
