Guys,

Thanks so much for all the help. You'll be disappointed to know
that I went out and bought a Linksys and got it working the same
night. First of all the buffalo left many dead spots in the house.
Second...well there are only so many hours in the day. I can see using
non-standard firmware could be fun but you have to pick your battles
timewise. If you knew how many things I'm trying to do at the
moment...

In the end I had tech support to help me with whatever holes there
were in my knowledge in installing the linksys. Might seem wimpy to
you but at my age adding time and difficulty to anything that is not
part of my main focus holds me back in the important areas of my life
(all of which involve using the internet). Sadly you do reach a point
in your life where even spending a few extra hours on something is
costly.

Again, I thank you for all your help and Jeff's humor. It's a bit
like mine :-). I guess I'll try to sell the buffalo on Ebay.

Thanks,
