I'm planning on using iiNet's 512/128 plan with the DSL300 and using software routing on one of the machines to give access to the other computers (PC, iBook, etc.)
IP Net Router or Airport Software Base station should be ok shouldn't it? I have previously used IP Net Router on OS9 with no problems. I have found the only problem with Airport software is that it has limited port mapping ability (max 20?) I'm not sure if there's a limit with IPNR. -Scott > Like the Australian Tax Office and electronic tax, iinet's advice in > relation to configuring and upgrading the firmware on the DSL 300 is correct > in so much as you can use a Mac, providing you are running an emulated > WindowsOS on it (ie running Virtual PC, with the appropriate version of > windows) and using Dlink's configuration program. > Despite iinet's advice to you, I have had several direct (& recent) > communications from Dlink to say that the DSL 300 cannot be configured using > a web browser.
