    Time Capsule & WNDR3700

    I hope you are aware that the TC can act as a router. The downside is you need to run that annoying Apple software to configure it and can only be configured from a computer with wireless. Configuring the TC as a wireless client is even more annoying. If you can I would return the 3700...

    .

    There was a DNS relay issue with 1.32 that "bricked" the 655 (more appropriately rendered it useless) and it affected a significant number of product owners. Other issues, like mine, the wireless would drop periodlically every 4 hours for 20 minutes and the router itself would reboot at best...

    Mac or Ubuntu for server use

    Ubuntu is more robust and can also be used as a cableCARD MythTV/LinuxMCE backend if you buy the necessary hardware. Automated backup is more difficult to setup using rsync on both client and server. Ubuntu 9.10 has an ntfs-3g driver so that it can natively write to mounted NTFS drives (but...

    Mac or Ubuntu for server use

    VMWare ESXi requires a RAID array to be installed and you would need to buy a SATA RAID controller to get SATA drive support. It is not a good idea to install VMWare on your system. Try Ubuntu 9.10 on your server because it best suits your needs. Windows is also fine if you are...

    N router that supports SSH login

    I think Tim Higgins compared Tomato to DD-WRT connection handling (or it was Tomshardware). Tim is the editor and reviewer for this site. I'm sure he'd have some input on this. If I remember correctly TOmato would get bogged down when flooded with connections and DD-WRT did much better, but...

    Mac or Ubuntu for server use

    Most would not recommend buying an off the shelf NAS if you already have spare PCs lying around because they are much more robust if you are not too concerned about performance.

    Mac or Ubuntu for server use

    OS X Server Snow leopard does not support PPC G4 and OS X server 10.5 does not run well on G4. You would need OS X server 10.4 tiger, but I don't think anyone would recommend it because the OS is likely not sold anymore. OS X Server does run pretty much the same as OS X Desktop though. You...

    WNDR3700 or ??

    You can try to replace the 614 with a cheap 802.11b/g router. Since your 11n client seems to be 2.4Ghz, it is a good idea to have a secondary router/WAP for 11b/g clients so that the 2.4Ghz 11n stream do not slow down. TP-Link often gets great reviews for its value and supports 64/128 bit WEP...

    A few questions from a new guy..

    Yes, with only one gateway, the 655 clients can print to the 54G2 printer without any issue.

    A few questions from a new guy..

    I am very confused. If there is only one gateway in your setup and the 54G2 is only a WAP, then Laptops can print while connected to the 655. Earlier you said that the 655 and 54G2 were acting as two separate gateways with two different External WAN IPs and there was no bridge or VPN between...

    A few questions from a new guy..

    Oh Okay, so printing from one router's LAN to the other will definitely not work because it is separated by the WAN or internet even though all the devices are in your household. You would need to VPN to the 54G2 side or move the printer to the 655 or vice versa with the laptops. If you don't...

    Sorry, I wasn't finished the first diagram post and it got screwed up when I submitted it by accident instead of previewing the post, Please disgard the incomplete post.

    A few questions from a new guy..

    If the two router setup works then that is great but obviously not ideal because you have to pay for the second static WAN IP. I am curious as the how your LAN is setup. Does it resemble this WAN (ISP internet) |...

    Coolmax CN-330

    The device probably formatted the USB drive with a Linux file system like EXT3. If so, you need a EXT2/3 driver for windows, and on any computer that will directly connect to the drive via USB. http://www.fs-driver.org/ Once installed, mount the drive and assign the Drive letter using the IFS...

    Hardware or Software Router? Which is better?

    A game server will likely have under 50-100 concurrent clients so any modern SOHO or enterprise router can handle this load without a sweat. If there is just one computer (the server) behind the firewall, or the server will be on the same VLAN as the other LAN clients, then an enterprise level...
