It seems the data is routed to your modem and back again, but as long as your modem does its job, it shouldn't be a bottleneck. Just a bit more traffic on the Ethernet cable connecting the router to your LAN, and a bit more CPU and memory load on the router. The cable (WAN) connection probably isn't involved at all.
You could try disabling loopback (or something like that) on you router. Most routers have this option disabled by default, as some sort of security feature. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- touch (sans caps) + duet + boom + radio (portable) / dd-wrt @ linksys wrt54g/160n/320n/e2k/e3k + homeplugs &c. / lms 7.7.x on w7(x86) w/avira free ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92009 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
