    Remember, when ICSing, make sure you set the sharing computer to share the DIALUP connection if you're using WinPoE or other PPP connections...

    Exclamation Bellsouth DSL

    I've had mine for about three weeks now( from Bellsouth ) and being less than a mile from the switching station and new lines installed sometimes it downloads @ 999bps , average is about 650. Norton updates are esspecially quick ................................
    and they're done. Could NEVER go back to dail up!!!!!!!!
    You really enjoy it
    Don't forget the firewall!!!!!!!!! I have a D-Link router and hub connecting four computer. Also run Zone Alarm to protect your uploads and monitor all your activities. Run Leak Test from
    GRC.com and you'll how unexposed your computer is.

    WOW! Surprising to hear that...cable kicks DSL booty up and down the street in my neighborhood.

    1.5mb bandwidth DSL = $65/month
    3.0mb max bandwidth CABLE(I'm at 2.6mb every day) = $35/month

    Yeah, yeah...the DSL people say that cable will slow down when more and more people use it...I've been using it for 2 years now and I have yet to see that happen.

    I guess it all depends on how the service is in your area...

    I hear ya surreal
    We just got cable a month or so ago and its horrible
    I sometimes get 450 BYTES per sec downloads grrrr
    Sometimes if I reset the modem I get better speeds but within an hour.. maybe more it goes back to nothing
    need to call tech support figure out what's going on

    Glad to hear you got on the DSL bandwagon
    There maybe some lumps and bumps at the beginning, but hopefully things will smooth out

    Btw you'll have to put the static IP in manually,it won't pick it up by itself

    nice to see a fellow diver martoch, yea i wish i could get cable, but they still havent released it and im not gonna wait any longer, aol has been getting worse and worse, as for static ip, i get one for free, what kind of precautions should i set up if i have this setup when it gets here:
    dsl->linksys router->client 1 static ip (server)
    client 2 dhcp
    client 3 dhcp
    do you see any problems with a setup like this for web hosting?
