1) Tell us which router you have. I used a Belkin router and could never
get
it to work. Belkin tech support was worthless, and I never got it to
work. I
got rid of the router, problem went away.
Complete aside....
I was messing with my belkin pile of plastic junk again today, forwarding ports for web, ftp and mysql, so that I can share some dev work with a remote colleague. Anyway, I spotted a trend. The items that are in the "virtual server" list all work exactly as they are supposed to (ftp/www), but set up your own custom one (mysql), then it has no interest in working properly!
This has ticked me off for long enough, so any suggestions for a sensibly priced replacement for a belkin F5D5231-4??
TIA

I'm using a Linksys WRT54G. I'm using firmware from sveasoft, but it has some serious DHCP issues, so I'm still looking for a reliable firmware. The one supplied from Linksys is pretty lame.
Netgear is good feature wise, but they have a limited nat table, which can cause problems on high traffic/volume servers. Netgears latest firmware causes regular reboots and is not very reliable (unless they fixed it - again).
Cisco is the only way to go - I *never* had any problems with my Cisco.
heh heh Cisco.... I wish.....
Any thoughts on the Linksys *BEFSR41? It seems to have got a lot of good reviews, I only need to connect two PCs and a wireless hub to it and the traffic is only high when I push large or lots of work related files around. The delight of a small home office.... :)
