The other day I was reading the Manual I printed in 2007 for the   
   Linksys Router Jay Emrie gave to me.   
      
   On one page it said to turn the power on the Router before powering   
   up the DSL Modem and Computer.   
      
   I've tried doing that the last couple of days and learned it shortened   
   the time I had to wait for the Router and DSL Modem to get finished   
   with THEIR handshaking.   
      
   I WAS powering up the Router and DSL Modem first and waiting 6 minutes   
   for the handshaking to finish.   
      
   If I didn't wait for THEM to finish talking to each other and turned on   
   my computer the Network would give me a NO CONNECTION message.   
      
   And since I start up using a XP Limited Users Account, I'd either have   
   to Switch to a Admin Account to get a Network Connection OK message,   
   or click Shut Down - Restart to get THEM talking to each other so I   
   could get on the internet.   
      
   Now by powering up the Router and waiting half a minute or so and then   
   powering up the DSL Modem, I get a Network Connection as soon as I   
   Log In to my XP Limited Users Account.   
      
   Of course, everyone already knew about this because they read the   
   Manual, but I just though I'd pass along what I just learned.
