For quite a while I've been using a p3 733 as a server running on linux to share the net and so forth, and today I used the same outlet to plug in a iron and poof, no more server. Stupid cheap surge protector, but anyways back to the subject, I decided to just purchase a router instead of buying a cheap little system to act as a server. What type of router do you (yes, you the person who's reading this) suggest?

I have a D-Link DI-704. It have been working great for a few month.

I've been using the SMC Barricade 4-Port 10/100Mbps Broadband Router for the last 6-months without any problems.

The Linksys is a good choice, but if you want something cheaper, SMCs are good.

yes, you can set one computer outside the firewall completely, or you can forward specific ports to a single computer.
