Newbie question on router

I already had a hub before with a small LAN setup in my house. So, I got the Linksys 1-port Cable/DSL router. It's very easy to set up and I haven't had any problems with it. Linksys also makes a 4 port version of the same router and it supports DHCP etc. and is very good. Hope this helps. :)

Hotmail spam

I dont think they guess email address. Its more like they use wild cards like a*@hotmail.com and everyone gets that email. I would suggest signing your dad to Yahoo mail. They do a better job in filtering spammers atleast right now. Then again - this is my opinion.

Anyone have any good tips for wiring up a house?

I am not sure about the situation you are in. I ran both ethernet and telephone cables at the same time to save some trouble. If you have to do telephone cables do it along with the ethernet so you dont have to crawl through the attic twice.

Several vendors make this stuff...take a look at the link below. Networking kits I would go with D-Link or Linksys. Both are reasonably cheap and will get you started. Get PCI network interface cards (NIC) and not ISA. To get started: 1. install the NIC cards on both machines. 2...

MS Word

Word remembers the last setting of the window size. Sometimes this screws up :frown: and the it keeps showing up minimized. Try right-clicking on task bar and select Restore. Then resize the window first and then maximize. This will enable word to re-write the window positions to the registry.
