[smartBridges] Followup: ABO connects thru NIC but not router

[Bobby Bounds]

Hey guys,   You may recall last week I reported a problem with an ABO install where the ABO worked fine when connected directly to my laptop's NIC but when connected to the WAN port of the Linksys router (and two other, newer PC's) I could not even get a link light much less connectivity.   Well, I went out there yesterday with a WET11 plugged it in and it worked great. The WET11 is $99. The ABO is $239. Hmmmmmm......   So, I have another outdoor SB unit to add to the pile (Qty. 7 in the last 6 weeks) of bad SB outdoor units to be RMA'ed. BTW - Overall, I love the SB indoor units (with the exception of the flaky/buggy SimpleMonitor 32 bit client). The outdoor units have a multitude of problems making them unsuitable for use in areas where electrical storms exist. SB's new product line looks promising with the exception of the exposed CAT 5. They really should have fixed that. Also, SB really needs to get away from the 32 bit client and go with a Web interface.   Bobby Bounds Airwave Internet, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]
