I was thinking of changing to a business class INTERNET 22Mb down 5Mb up
And it can have up to 5 static IP's
I am not sure how to configure them:hair: Do I need 5 router to do it ?
Or can it be done though 1 router like a RVS4000

:Pokes: Help Please :Pokes:
I'm not a network expert, but I assume you'll need a non-NAT router.
Obvious question, but are you going to use the static IPs? As you say 'up to 5' I'd guess you can just use one with a standard NAT router.
You could ask in the forums over at http://www.whatismyip.com/ as there are a couple of guys there that know their stuff :)
Oh, is this cable? Which network? Have you checked their support forums/newsgroups?

Lauren,
unless you want to set up completely separate networks or you want to have more than one outside facing machine it's just not really worth the extra trouble of configuring a modem to handle more than one ip address.

OK, I did a bit more research. Looks like the awesome Linksys WRT54G might do the job (I use one myself, running DD-WRT SE). A friend who knows this stuff thinks that the Tomato firmware will do what you need. But I think DD-WRT will do it also. Both of those are free, open source firmwares. However, you do need to be a few steps above 'newbie' to easily upgrade the firmware (sorry if I've unintentionally insulted you!).
Actually, this link looks like it might give you some ideas:

In case that wraps around, here's a short version:

HTH, and like I said, I'm not an expert on this stuff :)
Cheers,

Agree. If bandwidth saturation is the problem another option might be multiple modems and channel bonding within the router.Quote:

Slightly larger country to cover with fibre :)

These days in the UK internet access is just sold as an add-on to TV services. Content is king as they say, and our only cable supplier doesn't have it. ADSL is laughable. Lucky to get 2MB on a good day. The new game is "Quad Play" - i.e. sucker the punter into buying TV, phone, net, mobile from one supplier. As stupid as it sounds, people fall for it :(

OK sorry for not getting back sooner Busy Day
The Reason
#1 I run 2 DSL lines 716/3mb each
1 for my Garage Pharm and 1 for my house
I need more up stream to to deliver all the WU's I crunch
And I wanted to stream Movies off netflix
Hard to do with 3or Les Mb without a webtv box.
#2 I have a friend who wants to start a
Website for his restaurant, thought I could host it for him
And I guess with all the Power I have I could be a Host provider
Boost it to 10/50mb and take it for a write off :lmao:
But you Know me I'm a little dumb in this kind of thing
I guess I will have to hire Bok or gopher to be my web master:jester:
But I did think 1 static IP would be good so I could look in from the Moon if I wanted to
I understand about the transfer backlog. I have the same problem at work. I have to be choosy about what I crunch or it really backs up.
BTW.
Happy Birthday Lauren.
haha Thanks Bigred
But with 5mb up I should not have a backup
I guess your right Bok I will just let my friend fend for himselfQuote:

Not necessarily, you can have MANY domains pointing to a single ip address, that's simple enough. I'm doing that here. In your case it would be the only website yes? All you would need to do is configure your firewall to route all traffic on port 80/443 to your webserver.
Well I got the business class INTERNET 22Mb down 5Mb up installed and running:D
It clocks in better then promised I get 24 Mb D/L and 7Mb U/L:thumbs:
And it has a Fast 10Ms ping at 50 Miles:guntotin:
The old DSL pinged at 42 MS at 50 Miles
So I'm ready to conquer the world now :lmao:
sweet!
Can VNC work on a Mac :confused:
Not that I've tried, but a quick search indicates that RealVNC is available for MacOS yes.
Boy you even have to remap your mac keyboard to work with MS OS
mac seems like a Royal pain in The ass
Yes that is because the mac keyboard has a different layout and there are different keys to do the same job on a mac as on a PC like the windows key is the apple key and ctrl is the Flowery symbol key I think and a few others act different and does it still have only 1 mouse button :P
