Router or ADSL Modem...?

It certainly was for me, Lona!  :grin:

I would just turn it on, and see what happens, DG.  It seems to make things more secure, but you may have to fiddle with some settings to allow ports, etc, unless it enables certain ones by default.

  Thanks for your wonderful description of SPI Simon-I didnt know u had it in you   :D

 I did turn it on and it ballsed up my downloads-so it went off again!

 Having checked my Belkin Routers Help File, I find that the built in Firewall already uses SPI, so I will leave the other one off. I cant be bothered with any more fiddling about.
