fast but not 100mbit fully. I was getting 5-7 megabytes per second over at Microsoft.. perhaps they cap the download, as I should be getting around 10-15.
:D Anyway 5-7Megabytes rock!

:P
Now I've just figured out something strange. When I hook my router up to the ONU (fiber modem), my speed drops dramatically. Something in the router is killing the speed. I might be getting a new router soon if I cannot figure this out.
:D

Up until now the standard router is only set up to handle 10Mb from the net. This because the cap for wire has been that....
Try installing NIC's in your puters and just go from NIC to NIC. Set up a DHCP server with Win 2K server if you need to. That or just let XP do a local IP using the 169.x.x.x, I have found that to work well......
Good luck..

thinking about setting up a server so that it can control the speed through a direct connect with the ONU. This router worked great with 8mbit, but when it comes to 100mbit, I think I need to upgrade and sell my existing unit. :D
I have it setup the use DHCP through the router. I'll play around with the settings to see what I can accomplish or screw up :D

WOW look great!! What is the cost for something like that, including everthing from Optic Router to Monthly cost ??
Are you connected directly to the WWW backbone ?? I might have to try and tap into the Fiber between USA and Australia ;)

I have an ONU box sitting in my living room. It's like a supernode for DSL, that would be the best way I could explain it.
Say there is 1 node in your neighborhood and you have DSL. The node can push 100mbit/s and your ISP has guaranteed 1mbit/sec, that node would service 100 customers.
:D
It costs about $60 per month, installation was $271, modem rental is $9.00, etc..
If only my router would allow those fast transfers :D

SuperNode for DSL hmm.... Could I buy a dsl modem and connect to you? Are you allowed to re-sell your internet connection?
Do you have any limitations ?? IE BW per month or hours online ?
Or is that just in australia, I got banned from ISP for being online for more than 200 hrs in a week and downloaded a few hundred megs!!

I'm running a router with firewall, only have ports 21, 4242, and 4662 open. Running sygate firewall in the background.
Hopefully I'm semi-secure.

lol, dont run sygate too hard - he might get tired :D What are those ports for? 21 is FTP right?

21 is for FTP, and the other two are for emule. I let 4242 open because Silent Bob runs on that port :P
And 4662 is the default emule port.
