 James (& Lennart),

   This was my primary thought, but it occurred to me - wouldn't
   Rogers notice if both computers were on at the same time?  Sorry
   for my naivety, but I didn't think it was *that* simple (!)  Or are
   you suggesting that there would need to be some manual settings put
   on the router before this works?
