Re: RT314 intermittent operation Public: Ha! Yes, unfortunately, you're right in many instances!
Bobcat: I think there are problems with Limewire when you set the uploads to 0, aren't there (doesn't the program think you're leeching and stop downloads)? The bandwidth suggestion is a good one that hadn't occurred to me - with three kids downloading at 100% each, maybe that's the problem!

| You need to control two things:
1) The total number of connections. You can use the RT314 command posted earlier to monitor this.
2) UPstream bandwidth. You need to make sure the upstream is not saturated. Otherwise, your DOWNloads will suffer.
Some Limewire users may prevent you from downloading from them if you don't allow uploads, but I haven't observed a real problem. And do YOU care if your kids can't get all the bootlegs they want? P.S. I hope your anti-virus program is up to date! |

Chapel Hill, NC | OK, thanks all. I had to log into the router via Telnet several years ago in order to install the latest firmware with web management. Now I've forgotten how I did that and the manual is long gone:( Anybody able to help me how to log on via telnet and how to enter those commands in the post above?
Also, how do I find out how many open connections my old router (RT314) and my new router (FVS338) can have at once (it's not in any of the specs on the web that I can find)?
Thanks millions (I don't know what I'd do without these fora)!
