AWESOME!!!! Thanks I just ordered two and shipped them to a friend in Canada. I guess it pays to lives in a border town like Buffalo, NY after all. I had to pay all the Canadian taxes and a $50 shipping fee but for $328 Canadian for 2 units I can't complain at all. Thanks, great post.

Help! Need router w/more ports...or something :/

Di-link's 714P has the ability to forward 20 ports or ranges of ports. I believe most of D-Link's products have this same feature. D-Link's and SMC's products if I am not mistaken are OEM'd from the same sources so I would imagine SMC's would also suport using ranges.

Disabling Routers

Jack I have not seen RR's service but I figured thats common practice among cable ISP's. I seen a MAC address held by Adelphia for almost an hour before it as released. I can't explain why there service didn't time out and release the address sooner. I only guessing he is having this type of...

Kevin, Road runner has proably started binding MAC address. Try unpluging the power cord from the cable modem for 10 to 15 minutes to let Road Runners service time out and release the MAC address. Then turn on your router first then plug in the modem. Adelphia's Power Link Service works this...

installing win2k directly off lan?

That is correct, when installing from an existing Windows OS, Win2k will give you two options 1) Upgrade existing OS 2) Perform a fresh new installation (recommended) So you should be all set just performing from a shared networked drive.

installing win2k directly off lan?

If all you want to do is a clean installation you can do that from a simple shared networked drive. For a RIS sever you need a Win2k Server running Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and RIS services. You also need either a PXE bootable NIC or you have to create a RIS client boot disk, which requires...

Router configuration...

This linksys router will not work because it is only going to accept one IP and NAT one IP address. It will not accept more than one from your ISP. If you want to bind multiple WAN address's to a router I suggest you look at something from Cisco. Even if you tried to set up a static routes...

Creating two distinct LAN's that share internet connection, but can't talk to each other

I believe one reason you probably cant ping the WAN side on Router 2 is that Linksys has the disgard ping enabled by defualt on the WAN port, this prevents the "Ping of Death" attacK. I have not tried this dual Lans with two router from Linksys but I did set one up using a D-link and a SMC...
