OT - Linksys Router

[MoFunk]

OK, I have a setibox that has not dumped since late last night so I was going to get into my system with pcanywhere like I ALWAYS do and stop and restart the service. Well I was unable to connect. So I log into my router (new linksys I had to buy cuz my netgear blew up). Look to make sure all the ports are forwarded like they are supposed to be, make sure it all looks ok, all looks fine. So I try again, and nothing. So I log back into the router and uncheck the port I am forwarding, then recheck it to hit apply. As soon as I do, the router gets a new IP! I forgot that this stupid things renews it's IP everytime I change a setting. How I am stuck for a while. Just wanted to vent that I HATE this router and can't wait to get a few spare moments to get smoothwall running! I will then use the linksys as a wireless access point and hub ONLY!!!!!!

Well thanks for listening!

Yeah, for some reason I can't get WEP to work right on my linksys wireless router. Other than that I love it though, especially for the price.

Well problem solved! Smoothwall is up and running!!!!! Linksys is nothing more then a switch and wireless access point!!!
