Hi guys

Thanks for your initial posts - I'm writing from work at the moment and I can't recall the exact model of the router, I know it is a Linksys BEFR series model, I think it may be the BEFSR41 model found here:

I am certain however that it does not incorporate a wireless facility, the reason I am certain is that the model I chose was much cheaper than some of the other options principally because it will only allow you to connect up to 4 pc's via a wired network.

I can confirm the router is running with it's deafult settings as I have not yet made any alterations to the configuration. I can also confirm that both machines are fully patched as of yesterday and are both running an up to date A/V program. Both also have firewalls, although I did disable these at one point whilst setting up the network - I will need to re-enable both of these also but in a way that will not interefere with connectivity between the two.

Hope this info is useful !

Thanks

Dominic
