Re: switching to dslextreme - question on setup
1) I hardwire my NICs and DNS servers so that if there is a problem I can always tell easily which computer. Also, if you use standby, will usually wake up faster. Minor convenience usually.
2) If you want separate WAN IP addresses on your computers (gamers, servers, ...) may be useful. Also helps if you need to swap modems; don't need to wait for your old DHCP connection lease to time out. Most people only use 1 and distribute DSL via the LAN, but there are a few who find them useful. Not me, so can't really expound on the virtues. |
