I have a linksys router with 5 - 12 computers (obviously a lot of laptops) in and out. It's a wireless router with a switch plugged into it. It handles my DHCP needs for both the wired and unwired world. Just my two cents. And, if I recall, Linksys uses linux in it's firmware. It's certainly not Fedora, but it's still got a cute little penguin in there somewhere. --andy
