Recommendations for LCD for photo editing

Hi all, I was hoping for some opinions about what LCD to buy. It will be used mostly for photo editing in Photoshop. I'd say my ceiling in terms of price is around $300. Also, I have a GeForce 6200 vid card if that makes any difference. Thanks!!!

Turn router into WAP

Well I can change the router's LAN IP and still connect to it as long as it is in the 192.168.1.x range. If I try to change it to something like 10.1.1.x I can't get back into it. Any reason for this?

Well I think uninstalling and then reinstalling Outlook would be my simplest option right now. I need to know before I do this though, will this user's contacts and other data stay intact or will I lose it all? If I'm going to lose it is there a way to back it up first? Thanks.
