Susan:
Did you follow your link to the Linksys EPSX3
"(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000030067/ref=ord_cart_shr/103-5925026-9343057?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance)" you need to read the customer reviews doesn't sound like you would want that one even for just Linux let alone the winblows boxes, you have to disable your winblows firewall for what it worth, don't know how it would be affected other fiewalls.
