I just cancelled my Internet service with Direcway today. I had been with them almost two years. I went with the cable company, which is getting me about 900 kbps, which was the fastest DW ever ran.

I found that the DHCP is turned on in the DW6K. I have the DLink Router set as DHCP Server to the LAN. As I'm on the commercial side of SatMex 5, I have a Static IP. I understood from an earlier reading on this site that DHCP should NOT be turned on in both the DW6K and the router. One or the other or the speed is decreased. If my speed is decressed anymore, I will be sending this last week. It has been very bad since the DW6K was installed . Level III even sent me a new modem to see if that solved the problem. It runs anywhere from 150 to 890 but most of the time around 500. It was at 1500 for a month just after I had been looking at the back of the eyeballs of level II. Something was done on their end to improve the thru put. Then after a couple of weeks, back to the slower speeds again. Direcways phone cost and man hours with me must have cost their stock at least 2 points! How do I turn off DHCP in the DW6K??? Bob Moorman, Trinity Texas

Sat Mex 5

I just got a 290/35 at 5:44 PM CST. DW6000 on the commercial channel?? of SatMex. My service sucks and I'm not going to call the DA's again. Someday a wireline company will get broadband into East Texas and Hughes can shove this DW6000 where the sun don't shine. MTU's are 1430 and all that other trash has been checked, checked and re-checked.
