well I mentioned this before. I have a few dlink Di-604 dsl routers. Can I plug one into the wan and one into lan side? But wouldnt this route everything behind it to one ip number thus stopping me from managing this on the appo on the lan side? Sorry I am so confused here. I just want to protect myself from "the bad packets" and still be able to manage things.
Another question. Ok in my radios it show multicast packets, broadcast and unicast. Are these all unwanted packets or just the broadcast? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eje Gustafsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jerry Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 10:31 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Hubs vs Switches > Consider that these should have a 512k RAM buffer it should be able to > keep track of enought MAC address per port to know which port to send > broadcasts on.
