Re: [PLUG] OT: Comcast problems


Doug Crompton:
Anyone having Comcast/router problems in the Philadelphia area? Seems they
have done something in the last week to screw up routers. Seems to work
fine with one computer connected.


If you have a linksys router, you might want to download an earlier version of firmware, or alternatively use whatever box works as a router with a 2nd NIC and an appropriate firewall setup. I have more problems when my modem unexpectedly gets bumped and resets than with a netgear router, I had lots of fun with 2 different linksys routers, so much that I went to using an old 486 as a gateway with a switch connected to the 2nd NIC and other computers. That worked quite well until the fan cooling the CPU stopped working one day.
