You turn off the internet when you go off-line? What about everyone
else wanting to use the internet? ;-)
But being serious, if your modem/router is an important part of your
network, it needs to be up first. You can make it less important, by
configuring static addresses into your computers, so that they only use
a modem/router for internet traffic.
I live in an apt, the heck with the neighbors... :) I have the router
because I have like 12 boxes laying around here- easier to run patches
that way. I run multiple nics with a hub or direct cable/cat5, in case I
need to network something.
