Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.  I will fire up the Color Classic after my first cup of coffee and give it a go.

In my house, I have a modem from Comcast.  It plugs directly into a Linksys/Cisco wireless/wired access node.  It has 4 ethernet ports on the back.  As I understand it, the the access node will do DHCP  downstream and toss a fake net address from each of the 4 ethernet plugs in the back.  I think I can run a "ipconfig" command from a dos prompt on a PC and see what address it is tossing me.  In the Cisco, each port has a small green led that lights up once something (like a computer, like my blu-ray player that streams movies from the internet, etc) is connected.  The lamp turned green in the Cisco once I installed the network card and Farallon software in the Color Classic.


I will report back this morning after my tests.

Thanks so much.
