Hi all,
Currently, I use my desktop as a firewall, routing etc connected to a cable modem. I, also connect my laptop to a 2nd NIC in the same desktop computer. Now I am going to need another NIC for my PS2. I have read that a stand-alone router connected to my cable modem would be the best solution. I have carried out some preliminary investigations and I think the Linksys BEFSR41 will do.
Does any-one have any experience with this router ? Is it any good ?
Any other info would be much appreciated.
I use the Linksys BEFSR41 and have had no problems, I find the documentation to be particularly lacking but setup of my 2 computers behind the firewall was pretty easy. I haven't had alot of luck with port forwarding (trying to use filesharing systems , edonkey etc) outside the internal network, but thats due to my lack of experience and Linksys's incomplete documentation. ftp transfers within the internal network have had no problems see ya - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+jFb8BwgxlylUsJARAvejAJ9FqcEDh6V0AaKxl06w2feq+mifDgCgg0Wc Eg26NSYErdOc8QfVmpccW3A= =Qzn/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
