Thanks for the great help, cliche. After looking up how to log in to my router, I think I have my problem fixed and also have found my outside IP address. Again, thanks for your help.

Oh! Just thought of another question. I'm giong to be purchasing a notebook soon and would like a wireless connection to my LAN. Is it possible to simply connect a wireless router to the router I have now, or should I simply forget about the router I have now and get a combination router?

*Edit: And since this is a general networking thread anyway, basically, is there a way to send a message to everyone in my LAN? I'm talking about a built-in windows program. I realize this can easily be done with an IM program, but I think it'd be pretty useful to talk to everyone in the house when they don't have their chat programs running.

Thanks again.
