I used to have one. It came off of the shelf defective. Either that, or the firmware was buggy. In retrospect, I now believe it was the firmware that was crap, and not the unit itself. Some of the guys I worked with had the same model, and all of use had problems with it rebooting itself on a regular basis. The number of ports you can forward is limited, and you can't assign IPs to specific mac addresses. The reason I bought my Linksys is that by using sveasoft or similar firmware, you can have these and many more features. This seems to be a common problem. Netgear released a firmware a few months ago that caused regular reboots, and dLink released a firmware that caused reboots every 5-10 minutes. This isn't rocket science - why can't they get their act together with the firmware? My Cisco never rebooted - it ran 24/7 for months and months. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
