RE: Winpoet sucks

[Chris Sanchez]

Currently at home i am using ELN with RASPPPOE on a W2K AS.  I am using a program created by an InfospeeDSL user called KeepRAS to keep my connection open (it pings 10 hosts, and if it doesnt get a reply, it will disconnect and reconnect the connection.    RASPPPOE is MUCH more stable than winPOET (i hate winPOET too). For DNS resolution and machine access, i use a DynDNS client.   I've tried loading RAS and my DynDNS as services but that hasn't worked yet(RAS loaded and connected but DynDNS failed). It is definitely do-able tho.  This is a less simple answer, but it's FREE! -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 3:39 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Winpoet sucks Do it.  I don’t think you will regret it.  Either that, or find a DSL provider that doesn’t use PPPoE (could be harder than you think).  Although some have mentioned that the Linksys routers suck, we have quite a few people that I work with who have invested in them and are very happy with them.  For what you pay, I think they deliver pretty good performance.   Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems, Inc.   -----Original Message----- From: Tiffany Belcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 3:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Winpoet sucks   Is there something else I can use? I need to hook this thing up so it will stay on:) But I willmost likely take the suggestions of the group and jsut buy a DSL router as that will supposedly keep the connection on. If it loses connection it will jsut do reconnect attempts. ----- Original Message ----- From: Benjamin Winzenz To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 2:49 PM Subject: RE: Winpoet sucks   And it took how long to figure that out?
