Ed......MOST switches and routers come with firmware, which by the way, there 
IS an update for that available. You will access the firmware via a 
browser......you can set WAN and LAN settings, MAKE SURE you turn "off" 
remote access to the setup, and turn on NAT, which will give 192* addresses 
auto. It SHOULD be very configureable, and probably will be by default closed 
tight.
