I dunno, I have some neat ones from both a Belkin and a Netgear... the Belkin was especially fun: I could ssh into my linux machine from work but Softsqueeze wouldn't connect, nor would http... I could run VNC from the Windows machine, to the ssh server on a linux machine at home, tunnelled back to work (2 trips through the router!)... I could even run firefox on that machine just as slowly as ssh/vnc usually is... But I couldn't use that same browser to load the config pages on the router, at least not reliably, it liked dropping the connection midway. I had huge packet loss from any machine on the local network to the router. But the local network was fine, even playing music on wired and wireless squeezeboxes... I tend to believe that since Belkin uses a plain old Linux-based system, and that in the 2 years I had they never ever did a software upgrade... that they just didnt care: if it was broken, "go buy a new one" was easier for them than actually maintaining code and updates. My current router is actually a 2.5Ghz Celeron desktop... the Belkin has been made into an Access Point only, and it works much much better. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34229 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
