What model of a Netgear? Historically, Netgear routers have been for low volume browse-the-web home users because of the limited size of their routing table, and not really very usefull for anything that requires a lot of connections. I once tried to run an open-nap server through one, and my user count would ramp up to about 1000 or so, and then everything started timing out. Connections all over my network would fail, and I finally realized it was the router. After going back and forth with Netgear's braindead support reps, I finally found someone at Netgear that admitted that the routing table in the router was like 1024 in size, and they really intended them to be used for AOL level users that just wanted to browse and IM. That was a few years ago...maybe they finally got the idea and increased it?
Anyone been here long enough to remember my adventures in crap low end routers several years ago? Netgear was towards the top of the list of routers (and hardware in general) to avoid.
