digitalreefer, I take that back. It looks like the Earthlink modem probably is a router in itself. I got instructions about how to set it to bridge mode, but before I decide to do something like that I ran a little test with my laptop. I plugged the laptop into the same wired port the desktop was in (and disabled the wireless connection). Laptop still shows MR-hosted images in all their glory while the desktop doesn't. Sigh.

Also, thanks for your explanation about what video cards do. Was thinking of buying a new, 128 MB video card, but will save myself the $ for now.
