Ahh please read my comments and please, help me to
find some answers
Well i used to work with this kind of connection, but,
the main difference is that we had a lot of problems
at least in the first five months, I'm from costa
rica, so we have a monopoly over here, and service was
the worst of it all, at least, when over here there
was some rain, our Local providor (RACSA) said that
there wasn't there problem, and we lost the signal,
so, we couldn't stablish connection directly to
ATLANTA, we're is located VISTA CAST, a division of
ATT ( i guess so ), and over our country and closer to
my job, there's at least 5 Dishes, and we get a very
slow speed for this times.
If we were running telnets, ummm, ftps, and many other
kind of protocols or application, the speed became
down, very down, so, we get speeds over 6k p/s. and we
were paying for a bandwide of 128k, so i hope that at
least we get speeds higher than 15 or 20k per second.
So, if you have better luck with this one, feel lucky,
but in costa rica, it doesn't work cool yet.
Ahh by the way, our latency is between 800 - 1200ms,
so, i don't know what to do.
We have 3com as lan cards, and we have optical fiber,
so, i don't know, we use switch 3com instead using
hub, so, if by the way, someone could help me to find
my problem, i would be more than happy.
Ahhh and, by the way, our local providor just let us
have as maximum 5 pcs connected to my DISH, so, if i
would like to set up more PCs and hide it, do you
recomend me to use nat? or if there's anyother, please
let me know, because it is very important for me.
Have a nice day and thanx
