Agreed.  But did you plug the cable router and the DSL router both
into your PC, or into yet another box that needs routing smarts and
then your PC just needs to know "talk to the smart box"?

(Hint - if the cable router and the DSL router are both plugged into
your PC, how do all the *other* devices in your house reach the internet? :)
