    1-I just got my UTV dsl modem yesterday and everything works fine. Only problem is that the modem ( Zyxel Prestige 630) is a USB modem and i need to create a network between 2 more computers and i dont know if there are any routers out there that can connect by usb.
    2-I saw somebody on the forum talking about a fixed IP and that UTV doesnt give one. Does it matter?

    Thanx in advance

    1. I'm pretty sure there's not. You could use one of the PC's as a router tho and all the external network traffic goes through that PC

    2. Fixed IP's are handy for hosting your own server of some sort, or for internet phone calls. For most ppl, it won't matter weither you've a fixed or static IP.

    You can order a fixed IP if you need it... costs an extra €5 per month tho :/
