Any suggestions on a router for an old computer on a cable modem?

If you had it working then, why did you stop using it ?

Cuz it interfered with Pogo!! IIRC. I just run with the XP firewall.
It tests out better on GRC's website than the router. I also had ZA and
I like the fact it catches outgoing stuff.....but it is also disabled.

And the root canal was beyond horrendous!!!!! My gorgeous new dentist
(Dr. McDreamy) was quite upset at the pain I was in. We discussed
calling it quits and me going to a specialist to be totally
anaesthetized, but between my Ativan and his Nitrous Oxide and me
allowing him *just one more try* at getting to the nerve, he got there.

Seems the nerve was horribly inflamed (not infected) and he had to
literately get to it in order to freeze it. It also seems that merely
freezing me up to my eyeballs does not always get down into the
nerve......I never want to go thru that again!! I have had at least 6
root canals over the years and never, ever has one hurt one IOTA!!

I hate getting OLD!! My body is falling apart, lol. Mind you, he said
"you have one hell of a pain tolerance".....yeah, yippee!!

Ouch I feel for you and sorry but my pain level is not that high, not that I
have to worry about that had all mine out in my early twenties <g> Not a
pretty site for a young girl, toothless <vbg>

Mind you if that dentist was that dreamy I don't suppose you noticed you
naughty girl <g>

Know what you mean about getting old, trouble is my mind still tells me I
should be doing this that and the other but my body wont let me, I do try
though honest <g>

You take it easy and hope you're feeling better soon.
