Tbrown Posted January 8, 2005 CID Share Posted January 8, 2005 Has anyone upgraded to professional? If so, do they have to install a new dish...And how much do they charge to do that? Also, it's just $20 extra a month right? Thanx, Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted January 8, 2005 CID Share Posted January 8, 2005 Use your existing dish with the DW4000/6000, its $30 more. Edit: Its just a simple phone call to upgrade service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 8, 2005 CID Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hey there TBrown, Before I upgraded to a DW6000 with .98m dish I was using DW4000 modems and a .71m dish on Sat-Mex5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbrown Posted January 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Thanx for the reply guys! I called today to upgrade..but I guess they aren't open on the weekends But the reason I'm wantin to upgrade is because I'm wanting to share another computer off the sattelite. I read on the dways' site that they recommend using the 6000, but can it be done with the 4000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wmmc Posted January 10, 2005 CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 Switch, using or will again a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 5 port. I had a HUB and went with a switch instead, LAN had a preformance boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx again, Travis No problem Travis - you sparked off a very unexpected and welcome chain of events in my behalf with your simple question that enticed me to write that article about building a LAN (using DirecWay as an ISP).

Wizdoms^ Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks for checking for me, The only reason i asked that is because i was having a hard time using ICS with dw6000 because the modem is assigning a priviate IP to my pc not allowing windows to bind the shared connection to that local IP.. and to the best of my knowlage you cannot change the ip that windows uses for ics... I guess DirecWay's use of that pirivate ip is good for people who want to plug in and go.. but using a router is such a bad idea for the DW systems because your modem already has NAT.. so right now im using a 150 dollar wireless router as a wireless switch : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't use ICS with a DW6000 because the whole idea is to let the DW6000 take the load off your Host, and allow it to act as a Client.

Wizdoms^ Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 Im not having problems using my internet, but i just wanted a simpler way to use it.. whats the point of using a router if dw6000 is already doing it.. it just complicates it more.. So thats why im using my router w/ nat/dhcp disabled because dway does it for me, so all my pcs are 192.168.0.XXX since it assigns the ip's. I just wanted to know if you could Disable it.. i would rather use ICS because i like the connection right into my pc so i dont have to worry about opening ports and stuff..

Wizdoms^ Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 Say, if you have any trouble's getting her to run right after you get ICS removed from your Host ...just give us a jingle! (Don't forget that when you reinstall LCCU that you'll need to go into your browser (IE6 that is), and turn back on both proxies by placing in check in both boxes, then click on the ADVANCED tab and make sure it says 192.168.0.1 on Port 87! (Otherwise your DW6000 will behave a bit strangely)! Also, in that same area, when you click on the Advanced Tab there is an Exceptions box at the bottom. Enter this info into that box (cut and paste) to get max attack with your browser: DirecWaysupport.com;192.168.0.*;192.168.2.1 <------that second # is the IP for my Router, so you'll most likely have a different # assigned to it than that. (This just makes it possible to get into your router via the browser ...otherwise you don't need the second Router # at all. BTW: thanks for the commands to put in IE, seems to run a bit smoother now.. never had LCCU installed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 I see, yet with your present configuration you will always have that "conflict" taking place ....and please bear in mind that ICS is an antique compared to allowing your router to act as your DHCP Server.

Wizdoms^ Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 Alright, thanks for the help.. i probobly just go back to using my cisco router, the only reason i liked using ICS is that i perfer the connection going right into my pc.. Thanks for the help rev.. much appriciated.. keep up the good work =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 There ya go! Your Cisco will treat you far better, plus your Internet speed should come up to about 1000Fbps with ICS out of the way. I can understand why you like the direct signal into your PC ...but hey, it's better to use that Cisco hardware firewall and stay out of the line of fire! lol... You are very welcome and I graciously thank you for the 'kudos'. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 14, 2005 CID Share Posted January 14, 2005 ANYTIME you are using the DW6000 with a router, you will get far better performance by making your Router the DHCP Server! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbrown Posted January 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ok...i BELIEVE I've gotten the wireing hooked up correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyArmpit Posted January 23, 2005 CID Share Posted January 23, 2005 The easiest way is to use a wireless router. I have a Netgear router and it does all the DHCP duties. I have 5 clients hooked up on the 192.168.1 subnet. The "1" subnet is routed into the 0 subnet. If your used to configging hubs/routers etc., should take all of 3 minutes to set up. I don't like using ICS because once you get a few clients running, they all go through the host machine which is fine if "said" machine is a server. 99.9% though is not. That means your host pc has to deal with ICS clients. Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbrown Posted January 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 24, 2005 Ok...I've got everything up and running fine now....I bought a new computer yesterday and I've got it as the "client". So apparently the problem must've been with the other computer that I had as the client!! Ohh..and it helps when you've got the Rev given ya step by step instructions on how to set it up and configure both computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
