The 4200e is a great modem mate. easy to set up, ive been running one for about 12 months and no problems.

Right, ive got a 250, well should be here in the morning I read the haynes manual, and im sniffing macs to trade at the moment.
I have 1 question about my setup. I will hopefully be running 250 to wireless router, with one pc wired to router and laptop connected wirelessly. The question is do i need to smac both laptop and pc or do i just need to change the mac in the wireless router?
Thanks Baggy69.

iam not 100% on this, maybe 99%, lol, but i dont think you need to use smac at all if you use a router mate.

Also, why you reading the haynes manual, i thought you ordered one of those 250's that comes already flashed up etc ?? no ? If you did then all you do is simply use the 250 mac changer program (available from here in digy), only takes seconds and enter in a new mac, like i told you before in pm mate, you really dont need to use another mac, you can use your own subbed one noo problems, but i guess if you want to use another then its no big deal, entirley your own choice.
hope this helps.
