OK, on the new firmware now.

Why does this fucker NOT want to stay connected?

It resets on its own for some reason.=(

Lunksys can't tell me why.
This is my 3rd router btw.=(

Also, some switches give me dial-up speeds, wi=hile others give me HEAVEN!!
/would anyone know why?

I do have an rca modem and have MacClone enabled.

ANy help is appreciated.=)

I don't know if this will help, but I have the v2 of the Linksys BEF-SR41 and in order for it to work I have to use an older version of the firmware, the latest is utter garbage.

If your switch is working very slow try switching the cards to half-duplex mode. If it doesn't help you can also lower the speed from 100 to 10 Mb/s.

I'm at work now, so I can't check settings, I'll PM you later. If your max connections are set to 5000, how many is emule actually using, are you running into the routers ceiling? check the stats page and see what your average connections are.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's cause of Port Forwarding on certain switches.=(

I'm returning this bitch!

I don't use upnp, what exactly is the problem you're having ??

satan · **Posted:** Thu Feb 26, 2004 12:26 pm **Post subject:**

it stays connected for about 1 hour, then flat lines.

Need to change the switch manually or do the old Renew/refresh shit!
/ipconfig /refresh
/ipconfig /renew

Then I will be allowed to have 1 more hour of access.

Comcast is NOT the issue.

that sounds like a firmware problem to me.

Just took a quick look round, looks like the V3 has LOTS of issues, get a v2 (or another router) or wait for a fixed firmware

so mac cloning should have no part of this?

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Thu Feb 26, 2004 1:15 pm **Post subject:**

Depends on your Cable provider, your modem will be logged to a particular MAC address by COMCAST, they may (or may not) need you to phone them to change the MAC address the modem is registered to, if they do, you can avoid this step by cloning the MAC address of the device your modem was connected to.

In my provider's case, they auto register changes to MAC addresses if you remove the modem from your hardware for ~30 minutes (or get them to force a refresh).

my mac never changed in the last 4 weeks.

I have a rca modem.
Was told I NEED to clone by linksys.

If you had your modem plugged in via an ethernet card, then moved it to the router without cloning then as far as your modem / ISP goes, it has changed.

You don't NEED to clone, it's much easier to just inform comcast thath the MAC address you are now connecting via is the MAC adress of your Router.

satan · **Posted:** Thu Feb 26, 2004 2:12 pm **Post subject:**

Only problem.

When I don't enable mac clone, I'm stuck with the same IP until I mess with shit again.
/which is a 2 hour process to get a new IP.

Sorry PC, you answered.
/need 2000 pro corp. with all the sp's. =)

How would I do that?

If we're still talking about switches (not routers, so no emule download/upload, browsing and other intharweb stuff; just connection between two or more computers in your LAN via a switch) then this is the way: open you Local Area Connection proerties, click Configure, select Advanced tab, find Link Speed and/or Duplex and change the values. You should do it on all the computers.
