From the brief description it seems as though it will ok with Linux (Ethernet and USB). There's no firewall, sharing or inbuilt NAT, so it'd need attaching. I really didn't want a router with their inbuilt (possibly broken) implementations of NAT, Firewalling and Portforwarding. Best thing about Argos (£54.99 by the way code 676/4199) is that if it doesn't work you can take it back in 16 days. I'd look at this if I had to buy hardware again, but I can't really complain too much about the Dlink (apart from the DHCP lease lasting 5 seconds, and Dlink tech support been stupid). -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam [at] dynamicinteraction.co.uk pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
