[Boatanchors] Request Router info.

[Mark Richards]

It wasn't me, but I'll be glad to help.

Wikipedia has a very nice definition, here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router

I use a Linksys router which does a lot more than simply route packets.  It 
provides filtering, switching, NAT (network address translation - sometimes 
associated with the tern "IP Masquerading"), and even negotiates the WAN 
connection.

Please post your questions.
