My speed has increased slightly, not to what you guys are reporting but it is better then my last post, its a reletivly clear day outside, no snow, no fog and no rain and a signal strengh of 64, was 78 on install a few weeks ago. Not sure whats going on with it, even with a direct connection to myDW6000 its still lame......

Heres something interesting....... This is DirecWays speed test. The test is running... This test may take 1-2 minutes to complete. For accurate results, please avoid all Internet activity until the test is finished. .. ** Speed: 278(down)/132(up) Kbps ** (At least 8 times faster than a 33 Kbps modem) Finish.

Any ideas on this?????

Dont tell me thats New Dehli INDIA? no wonder I thought I was talking to the same guy each time! I wish an American Company would be loyal to its country! That make me laugh, there they drive around in a horse and cart and are trying to tell me how to fix my Satelitte issues! OMG

SO whats the deal here? DirecWay gone on vacation or a picnic? The service I have got sucks to no end tonight with increadable speeds of 5 Kbs up and 15 Kbs down as reported by testmy.net.....

To tell you the truth, since I got this pile of junk I have had issues..... Each machine was using DHCP from one of my servers, DHCP was assigning the IP address for the machine (reserved) telling the machines the IP for DNS, and the default gateway for the router,. All computers were set to use the default gateway which was the router, then the router had its default gateway address, Firefox was set up to proxy direct to the DW6000 on port 87 192.168.0.1:87 which worked, but sometimes could not find the page, I beleive now its a caching issue with the DW6000. HTTPS is slower in most cases becasue the information is encrypted and also not cached, I proxy through no other software package either.... Sorry I may sound a bit nasty tonight, DW6000 has a download speed of 24Kbs, with my usual 5 KBS up, I am not too happy and cant get hold of DW!

I know about the nat layers, my router is not being used as a dhcp server, I have one of my servers doing that, I have to so I can have a static mapping, the DW6000 will not do this and there is no way (that I know of) to have the DW6000 static map, I guess I could set the ip of the other computers (servers already done) to static and not worry about the DHCP server. I could update the records in DNS to reflect the new IP's. I tried connecting the DW6000 to a regular port before, but I want the extra security that my router is giving me, I dont trust always on connections and not being able to use the DW6000 built in firewall (thats has been shut down by DW NOC) I am trusting my own routers firewall. my router is set on a different IP from the DW6000, the DW6000 as we know is on 192.168.0.1, my router is on 192.168.1.2 and the wan is on 192.168.0.2. hope this gives you some more insight to the network. thanks for your help.

I am looking for some help regarding my DW6000 and D-Link router... I followed a lot of issues regarding how to set up a home network to work correctly with the DW6000 and routers. My issue is this, every computer on my network can connect fine to the internet and to each other, now I have a small network comprising some 3 servers, 1 is a linux box, the other are windows 2003 servers, one handling mail and anti-virus, dhcp and dns resolution, the other is the test bed for my work, mainly php scripts. Now as for the rest of my computers, I can view http sites with no issues, I can view SSL websites some of the time! other times I just get this site cannot be found. I dont understand if I can view certain sites using http and SSL, why is it later on it will not view them sites again? I thought it was my DNS server of which is forwarding DNS requests to Direcways DNS servers and cashing the results, thats not the problem, I have cleared the cache time after time thinking it was an outdated address. but no... now the weird thing is, even if DNS was outdated, it would not be on the site that I connect to, becasue as most of us know, to have SSL work correctly on your own website it has to have a static IP when you register the SSL, so it cant be an outdated responce. BUT, if I connect one machine direct to the DW6000 all works fine, so I thought it must be my router!?!?! but how could it be the router? works sometimes, and sometimes it does not. I am confused, lost and annoyed at this, I hope someone can shed some light on this for me, I am running out of hair to pull Before I get the question "why do I need a DNS server and DHCP server" I will answer it for you..... I need them becasue of the amount of computers on my network, they have to map names to the computers that I work on, DHCP is there to give the computers information for the network, IE my DNS server address, DHCP address, gateway address and so on, and be able to connect to another computer without using the IP address. Set up is as follows... All computers connected to a 16 port switch, switch is connected to a router (no dhcp) DW6000 connected to the wan port of the router. Thanks in advance!

Hey Rev, I did what you said in your original post, I personaly did not see any difference, but, I will tell you what happened after my computer rebooted concluding the installation of that program. Just after my reboot beep, there way a loud bang and a nice blue flash and my puter went off! LMAO tis ok, power supply died on my got another 420watt psu and all is good. I thought wow that was some powerful PooP you did with my PC for a while! lol Anyways, thanks for the post.

Pretty much new here, this is my first post but I have been looking here often since I got my DW6000. I like the rest of you are having UPLOAD issues, slow slow slow slow, man my dial up connecting at 23.bps is kicking the PooP out of this DW6000 pile of $700 junk. The only good thing about it is the download speed, and yes, I got the same answers as you guys from DW Support, "them speeds are good" huh, for a snail maybe! Anyway, answer the poll if you can, I would like to know what most of us do on the wonderful world of DW!
