9/27    Are there routers out there that do bandwidth limiting or
        protocol priority? I run a LAN in my house but my roomates
        seem to hog up connections making my SSH connection intolerable.

        \_ Think the term you are looking for is traffic shaping
        \_ Some manufacturers sell a "gaming router" which traffic shapes on
           its own.  Linksys WRT54G has basic traffic shaping features.  You
           can extend the feature by putting in one of the many third-party
           firmwares for it out there.  These would be the cheapest method.
           I'm currently running m0n0wall router package which also has
           traffic shaping, and would be free if you already have extra
           computer at your disposal.

8/5     It looks like my company has started blocking HTTPS tunneling.
        I used to do this by tunneling SSH through the HTTP/HTTPS proxy
        server, but this seems to have stopped working. Does anyone know
        how the implementation of tunneling detection works, and whether
        there are widely available implementations? We run a bunch of MS
        stuff, so I imagine we're running an MS proxy server or something.

6/28    Q: What are folks using these days for anti-spam measures?  I'm
        looking for something that integrates with my MTA (postfix) or my
        delivery agent (sieve).  Currently I'm using a crufty version of
        spamassassin wired into postfix via amavisd-new.  It's decent, but I
        don't want to be bothered with manually upgrading spamassassin or
        updating rulesets on a regular basis.  Anyone have any experience

4/19    After installing Logitech wireless mouse, my friend cannot connect from

        device.  It said that it cannot obtain IP address from the router.  Even
        uninstalling the Logitech wireless mouse doesn't help.  Do you know how
        to fix the wireless LAN problem, so that his PC can obtain IP address

2/18    My DSL modem's ip address is 192.168.0.1, my internal network
        behind my router is 10.0.0.x. Is there a way I can configure
        the router so I can access the DSL modem from my 10.0.0.x
        network directly without re-wiring? Static routes? I tried it
        but no much luck. I also tried changing my internal network to
        192.168.0.x, but still does not work. Thanks.

1/28    Just switched to Comcast from SBC and generally happy with it.  But
        can someone please explain to me why they are constantly pumping
        ARP traffic through the network?  It seems harmless, but I'm curious
        as I didn't see it with DSL.  It's a little disconcerting to see
        constant traffic on your router, even if ARPs are harmless from
        a bandwidth perspective, and it makes the WAN send/receive light

8/29    What's the difference between a hub, a switch and a router?  Thx.
        \_ AFAIK, probably be corrected by someone:
           hub: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith shared amongs all
                the nodes on the hub and maxing out at the max line speed.
           switch: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith greater than
                the max line speed (point to point)

License Last update: 11/11/2004 Current version: 111 Latest beta version: 12b2 m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall sof tware package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software). m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web se rver, PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent. m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configu ration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format. Security update for m0n0wall 11 m0n0wall 111, which fixes a security hole in the DynDNS client (ez-ipupd ate), has just been released. If you use the DynDNS client in m0n0wall, you're strongly urged to upgrade as soon as possible.

The D-Link DGL-4300 Wireless 108G Gaming Router is the perfect router for gamers who have to share an Internet connection with others. By Tracy Baker Posted Monday, December 20th 2004 You can have the best video card, the biggest monitor, the most sensitive mouse, and the fattest Internet connection, but those advantages won't do you any good in online games if your router isn't up to snuff. If you 're looking to cut ping times to a minimum, and set up a wireless home n etwork, D-Link has the perfect solution in its DGL-4300 Wireless 108G Ga ming Router, but all that technology comes at a high price. The DGL-4300 supports a slew of cutting-edge features, incorporating a fo ur-port Gigabit Ethernet hub for blazing-fast transfers over a wired net work at up to 1,000Mbps. D-Link's GameFuel technology is what separates this router from the pack, and in testing we discovered that it's much more than just a marketing ploy. GameFuel aims to speed up online game performance by flagging data packets from games as high priority while at the same time flagging pac kets from other programs like FTP utilities as low priority. It also has the ability to divide large data packets into smaller packets that are less apt to clog up the network and cause spotty online gaming performan ce. We tested the unit by uploading and downloading large files to and from a Web server via FTP while playing online shooters, where high ping times and latency issues spell death. We compared its performance with that o f the older D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G wireless router, playing only on servers that gave us good ping times and that rarely suffered from s erver lag. As a representative example of the performance differences be tween the two routers, one server consistently delivered ping times betw een 30 and 40 milliseconds when we played through the DI-624 router. Whe n we started transferring files in the background, those ping times skyr ocketed to 144 milliseconds or higher, and intermittent periods of high latency made the game much harder to play. We then hooked up the DGL-4300 and played on the same server without enab ling GameFuel and again experienced ping times in the 30-to-40-milliseco nd range with no latency issues. When we uploaded a file in the backgrou nd without GameFuel enabled, ping times rose into the 120-millisecond ra nge until the upload was complete. Latency wasn't as big an issue under these circumstances as it was with the DI-624, but it was still a proble m Finally, we enabled GameFuel, rebooted the router, and played again w hile still saturating the connection with various file transfers initiat ed from a separate system on the network. Ping times stayed in the 30-to -45-millisecond range, and the latency issue disappeared. For all practi cal purposes, the play experience was the same as it was when files were n't being transferred in the background, so GameFuel seems to work as ad vertised. Although the DGL-4300 has a longer high-gain antenna than previous models , its wireless performance was on par with that of the older DI-624 we t ested it against. The home where the router was test ed has a few spots where wireless signals are particularly weak, and the DGL-4300 was no better than the older router at delivering a solid conn ection to these problem areas. It's a solid wireless router, but don't e xpect miracles compared with older units. The rear connectors (internal magic router gnomes not pictured). Setup is very easy, thanks to a Web-based configuration interface. Just e nter the router's IP address into a browser and use the various tabs to access the multitude of options. A wizard is available to guide the unin itiated through the basics, while advanced users can set up a virtual se rver, set up special rules for individual games that open up specific po rts each time they're launched, browse access logs, and perform other op erations. WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA-Enterprise wireless security are su pported, and the firewall settings let users enable stateful packet insp ection for improved overall security. Help documentation is integrated i nto the interface for easy reference, and a complete glossary is include d, allowing beginners quickly look up unfamiliar terms. If you already have a decent wireless router, the real question is whethe r or not you'll actually benefit from GameFuel. While we avoid transferr ing files in the middle of an online gaming session, file-hungry family members might not be as considerate. If you're able to dedicate your ent ire Internet connection to a game when you play, then you'll be just fin e with a less expensive router without specialized technology. However, the D-Link DGL-4300 router is a terrific choice if you're living in a ho usehold full of bandwidth leeches (including, but not limited to, siblin gs, children, parents, grandparents, and roommates). The price is rather steep, but the router is well worth the money if you spend a lot of tim e gaming online and you have to share an Internet connection at home. Overview: D-Link DGL-4300 108G Wireless Gaming Router The Good: Wireless networking, prioritizes game traffic for improved perf ormance on a shared Internet connection. The Bottom Line: If you share an Internet connection at home, pick up thi s router to keep your gaming connection smooth as silk.
