Re: DGL-4300 PPPoE connection dropping

I would assume that this would work but the purpose of me purchasing the router is due to the fact that it is suppose to do a much better job at QoS than the standard windows ICS. If I am not using the QoS portion of it, it is kinda pointless that I actually purchase the router in the first place.

Currently I am using the 604T as a modem/router and it has no problem handling 2 simultaneous Azureus at the same time and it is also true for my DSL504. In fact, I can allow for more simultaneous connections with those 2 routers than I can with the DGL-4300.

My only hope now is that Dlink release new firmware for the router or else it is going to be a very expensive white elephant in my room. =(

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. =)

I think you're going to have to take a different tactic entirely.

Between running torrents and two copies of Azureus, there probably isn't a consumer device with enough memory to handle the NAT tables and keep track of all of those connection statuses.

I would set it up this way:

[D604T-bridging?]--[Windows ICS]--[DGL-4300]-- (to LAN)

The D604T should be configured so that it gives a public IP address to the Windows ICS machine (which is going to be the router in this set up). This means that the Windows machine will need to be set up to handle the PPPoE tasks.

The Windows machine has to have two network cards and needs to be an OS capable to do Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Then it can handle firewall and NAT and DHCP for your LAN network.

It connects to the DGL-4300 via a LAN port

The DGL-4300 will act as a wireless AP and switch instead of a router. So DHCP will be off and nothing will be plugged in to the WAN port.

WHY THIS WORKS, IF IT WORKS: The Windows ICS machine, as a system, has much more memory and a pagefile if needed. It should be able to handle many more connections than the SOHO router.

I've heard back from others who have set theirs up this way successfully for one reason or another. It works. However, I don't know how heavy they were into P2P.
