    Not meaning to start any flames... but i can strongly suggest _AGAINST_
    D-Link Broaband Routers... (Especially the 504...). I personally have had
    bad experiences with them, and so has many other people i know of who have
    one.
    My 504 is in Bridge mode (acts like a normal modem with a switch)
    and FreeBSD acts as the router because it hanging (literally) 1-2 times a
    day randomly plus if you ever try to use any features of MSN Messenger
    that create a direct connection among other things (including Torrent
    clients/etc) isn't acceptable for me...
