Had it on loads of them - even if you put the PC in the DMZ or open every port in some cases! :boggle:

A firmware upgrade usually does the trick though

Ah, MSN file transfer yeah? Seems to be a really common 'issue'...

I had a few problems accepting files at first from other people on the same router as me. Seemed to solve it once I upgraded my firmware

I didn't think the Linksys ones were too bad TBH - I've played with a few of these for work - mainly the Linksys and Netgear ones - all web based admin malarkey but the port filtering seems to confuse a lot of folk with the Linksys

Yeah i think they were £70ish when I got mine but Buy.com were offering £20 off vouchers if you hunted about.

They are very configurable but it took me a while to get the hang of it to be honest. The instructions were not the best.

I did think about sticking another network card in main machine but liked the idea of not having to always have the main computer on if the other wanted to surf. But they're both on 24/7 nowadays anyway!

Thats a bargain Kieran.

Bout £70ish now IIRC

Or when you get a new PC just stick another card in your old one and use that as the router/firewall...

How configurable are those ickle hardware firewalls nowadays Kieran?

I have a Linksys Router matey. I'd reccommend them. How much are they nowadays? I got mine for £50 from buy.com a while back. Was a good deal at the time!

ah right
im saving up for a router atm
then my pc then car friggin hell i need money
