Thanks so much to everyone who has been discussing my situation. I'm sorry but I didn't check e-mail this morning. I just went out and bought a Belkin G router at Office Max for $34.99 and I hooked it up and it worked right out of the box for my desktop computers. I did call Belkin to get the wireless part working for my wife's laptop. Didn't need the MAC. A Mediacom tech had told me to get a router and that would be all I needed. Thanks again to everyone who answered ... Rob<br>
