    Cannot get Zywall into bridge mode

    Hello again. I have a Zywall 2 Plus. It's just the wired form with no wireless attributes. I am trying to get it into "Transparent" aka Bridge Mode but without success. When it is in bridged mode I can connect to the Zywall by wifi but there is NO net. I would prefer to have it in bridged...

    Debating DD-WRT & a New Router (help?)

    I never even thought about PF Sense. It would be worth checking into even just to try something new. Some places even stock the mainboards and wifi parts where you can make your own router. DDWRT has a store with that. That sounds like it might be fun to do someday...

    Debating DD-WRT & a New Router (help?)

    DDRWT is very good and I hear OpenWRT is just as great. I cannot wait for it to be out for the Belkin N750DB. Mostly just because haveing DDWRT as an option is nice and I feel it is better than 2/3 of the OEM firmwares out there. DDWRT alone can extend the usefulness of a product for a while...

    Public DNSes - risk? good idea?

    The "Basic" service is still free but they require users signup for an account now. I stopped using OPENDNS a few years ago when they started to get slow. I still get emails from them. I personally use Google's DNS service on my laptop. It's 10x faster than my ISP's, and alleviates being at...

    Messy Network Issue

    While it would create a new workgroup only for my computers if I name it randomly enough, the problem would still be there. In Network Neighborhood you can also see alternatively named workgroups. I've seen "MSHOME" appear for a short time as well as the name of a business listed before-...

    Messy Network Issue

    After talking with belkin some more and actually looking at some of the firmware for this router series (opensource) I know what is going on. It has to do with how this series of router handles printer and file shareing within in its own software. The router is Linux based. The shareing is...

    Messy Network Issue

    I just wanted to say thank you to jdabbs and thiggins for getting back to me about all this. It was the most help I actually got and sent me down the right path. I have spoken with Belkin quite a lot the past several days including one of their senior techs, and they have helped me figure out...

    Messy Network Issue

    Not if cache is being cleared before each check and if I am double checking on a second computer. How many times can I say- the computers that do not belong are unpingable. Bypassing the router and plugging in directly was just an expierament. I've said multiple times already these computers...

    Messy Network Issue

    The ping command comes back "could not find host". Using a program from Nirsoft called NetResView I was able to see these alien computers as well, and it was unable to enumerate IP addresses for these aliens as well. On a hunch I checked out the firewall log of the Belkin and I seen for...

    Messy Network Issue

    I have a Belkin N750DB Router. I have had it connected to my cable modem from my ISP. I discovered by accident 2 days ago when looking for a shared printer in Linux, that I can see my neighbors computers in my Workgroup. These computers are not comeing in through Wifi, these computers are on...
