I got a router/adsl2 modem from my isp.

If I just get a ADSL2 modem without a router, can I forget about all
this router configuration stuff.

I don't need a router as I only have 1 pc.

thanks in advance
Jimbob

Says who ? That router will give you a NAT firewall and help to protect
your computer plus give you the option of adding wired or wireless PCs
in the future. $30 (after rebate) will pick you up a Netgear/Linksys
wireless router with 4-port switch and give you some decent protection.

Keep the router as a separate piece of hardware rather than combining.

JimBob:

This is a Cable Internet News Group.

For future posts, you want; comp.dcom.xdsl
For DSL hardware discussions.

To add to the security of a NAT Router, I always suggest blocking both TCP and
UDP ports 135
~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router.

I also want to state that Router/modems can be placed in Bridge more or Router
mode and it
is preferrable to place it in Router mode.
