RE: [PCTECH] Networking via router?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a similar question, Bob. The Gigabyte would not need to go between 
the modem and the IPCop box, right? That seems what you said in clarifying 
my post a while back (thanks for that).

But the Gigabyte, if configurable as a switch, would connect to the inside 
of the IPCop box (green?), and the PCs would all connect to the Gigabyte, 
right? Dan could get 3 or 4 PCs hooked up this way, I think.

Thanks
Vern
