the difference with you is all your other computers with that router are plugged directly into the router, i'm using it just as an access point on an already existing college network so all the traffic from the entire network is coming through the WAN port (it was with the dlink until i switched...

I wasnt getting 1Mbit/sec cap, i was getting 1MB/sec cap. I switched to a linksys wrt54g and changed to router mode (the dlink doesnt support this i dont believe), and now i'm getting ~8.5MB/s (~68Mbits) I guess 70Mbit is a bit faster than the router was designed for :P

I swapped my dlink with a linksys, now my speed maxes out at about 3MB/s instead of the 1MB/s on the dlink... but its still not the 9MB/s i was getting... EDIT: put the router in "router" mode instead of "gateway" and its working great now :)

No i'm not using the software firewall, nor spam filtering / virus filtering.

would a switch not bog down my connection? and no i havent tried another router, next weekend i might be able to switch it with a linksys WRT54G

I'll keep this simple With my internet prior to installing a router I was getting about 5MB/s online and 9MB/s on LAN, now that I installed a DI-524 instead of a direct link to my internet i'm only getting around 1.2MB/s online and 800KB/s on LAN. Computer LAN Card: Onboard VIA Velocity...

I've a question about the software, there are quite a number of different versions of Win 2003 Server, standard, premium, small business etc... I'm not exactly sure which one would be right, also If i get a win 2k3 server w/ 5 user licenses, do i ALSO need to get 5 licenses for ms exchange...

Well i've been comparing all the servers from HP, Dell and IBM and I've found the one that would be best for this business, I've customized it on their website but I just would like to make sure that everything I have is right. # PowerEdge 2800 Catalog Number / Description Product...

Nice story, makes sense, explains why hotswapping is useful. While that kind of reliability isnt critical for a company of this size, for the money they're paying for this it would make sense that they would want something they could easily recover. Thanks. Most of my questions have been...

that build is dead, and yeah i realized that a while ago, i just kinda clicked the highest rated PCI-E i saw at the time, cheap PCI or onboard will do fine

well i focused on the things i knew first, and i've said before I want a RAID-1 to put the OS on and RAID-5 for the data. Yes its not my gaming rig :P, i'll never touch the thing after its built probably, going back to my 3rd year of Software Engineering in the fall anyway. And i've made the...
