Perhaps I could have explored a bit but the chicken in me took over and I didn't go poking around. I began to wonder if I might be better off in the long run to get a new broadband router. I saw one on futureshop.ca that was a D-Link 4 Port 10/100BT Broadband Router for $139.99. The set up I have now is a router and a hub. There are possibly other benefits than making my workspace a little cleaner and more compact but I don't know what they are. The spec sheet on the broadband router mentioned linux support. I don't know what linux support might have meant but I suspect that it was a program to let you get at the router settings for allowing outsiders to get at my PC by allowing traffic on certain ports.
Mel,
The router you have should do the job. Is it a DI-701?
If it is then I will check the manual and give you the required instructions.
Do you have the password?
Are your Linux boxes using DHCP or static IP?
