The second one is how I have connected it now, since switching on the 
router's firewall gave me too many headaches to contend with, and the 
WAN port on my broadband wireless router was broken anyway.

But now I got WiMax from work, together with a Zyxel wireless router 
(all for free :)), so I'll go back to the first solution. Hopefully, the 
Zyxel will have a easier to configure firewall than my current broadband 
router; otherwise, I'll rely on Windows' software firewall.
