Hi..
I have the above setup with 3 computers hooked to it.
I'm not a network person so please bear with me.
Here are the problems:
1). Mirc always give me "no ident" especially on EFNET servers. I've forward port 113 on my Linksys and now it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. Wot gives?
2). Every once in a while, the network connection just completely drops! The modem lights are all on, but no connection. Tried detecting but to no avail. Tried pinging...same thing, tried winipcfg....no response either. However, when I disconnect the power supply to the cable modem and replug it in right after....presto....the connections back online. Note: the cable guy said that it was because of a splitter that I have used on the cable but I've removed the splitter...and the same problem occurs. Huh? Besides, most apartments only have one or two cable connections and will require a splitter....so wot the cable guy said didn't really make any sense to me.
3). Will I have a problem with the Linksys router in terms of playing online games? I have heard horror stories concerning people having connections dropped in the middle of playing games with LInksys. Was wondering if there was a way around it? Haven't really tried it but would like to know more about it before I do.
