I realized that and edited my post accordingly.

BTW is that your real face in your avatar?

My real face... THROUGH THE TIME TUNNEL. Yes.

Since we're talking routers, how practical is it to get cheapish separate modem/routers? I've got a combo now, but as I mentioned it's shit, and eventually I might want a different form of broadband or something. I'd appreciate the functionality I've seen on dedicated routers too. However, I've only used rackmount dedicated routers, and they're a little beyond my home office budget.

As long as you stay away from Dlink... I use a Linksys wrt54g right now, as I had to send the pix501 to a remoteoffice. Bastards.

Any of the soho stuff is crap really, but it is just good enoff to use at home for the price.

That is true, and the details are way more geeky than I dare to admit. Damn where is my life outside of computes?

Anyways for those intrested, this is a nice dokument about NAT and PAT

Cisco fucking rules!

I was thinking from you, with the intention of never repaying. I'm poor at the moment.

Yeah, that particular model is ass. I had the wireless version and ended up replacing it with a Netgear router. Mind you, this was after months of repeatedly calling tech support, getting the run-around, and having a replacement mailed to me which worked no better.

Which 'particular model'? My BEFSR41 or the expensive thing they're talking about?

Also, I think it's now decided to implode. It keeps disconnecting completely once a minute, making nearly the entire internet completely useless; IMs in particular since Trillian takes barely less than a minute to reconnect.

Also, Circuit City and Best Buy aren't selling WRT54GL routers, only -GS and plain ol' -G models.

Oh, and in the course of writing this post, it disconnected SEVEN TIMES. The frequency is now up to twice a minute.

Correction: four times this minute!

The WRT54GL isn't sold in stores.

Post by **Beowulf** » 2006-10-08 12:43am

Sold at Newegg though!

Figured that out on my own; thank you anyway

Now to get Dave to get confid- oh wait, he already wants to get a 'charge card' for use on the internet anyway, so that's very much less of a roadblock now.
