I have had problems at home and at work when using D-Link switches and home routers with Intel network cards. It seems like they don't like each other. Do you have Intel networks cards talking to the D-Link?
I don't know who's "fault" it is, but I will never buy D-Link again. I can't say I will never buy Intel, because many computers and laptops have Intel built-in and I have no control over that. } -----Original Message----- } From: [email protected] [mailto:hlds_linux- } [email protected]] On Behalf Of Crazy Canucks } Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2009 9:18 AM } To: Valve Linux Server Mailing List } Subject: [hlds_linux] Hosting HLDS Behind a DIR-655 } } I'm looking for some advice or suggestions.
