I had 2 installs from Qwest with that router. Each plugged into a Linux box (Smoothwall - no flames please). Qwest walked me through setting up the router so that it passed a real IP address to my linux box. I used 1 of the 4 ports on the router to plug into my Linux box with ethernet, and I never used the USB. > Hi gang, > > I need some recomendations.
