谁用过SYSLINK的ROUTER？

[师长]

在FUTURE SHOP 看到有一种新款4-PORT SYSLINK ROUTER。 原价139。99，折价
109。99。

谁有这种ROUTER的使用经验，和SMC 的4 PORT ROUTER相比呢？

没用过SMC的,LINKSYS 的这款ROUTER很好用的.可以克隆MAC address.

good enough for home use.

for comparison, their 8 port one is managed, and smc router has printer server.

俺用的SMC 4 口router,但在它后面使用MSN不能和外边的人进行voice communication,不知道用Linksys的朋友有没有这样的问题？

SMC也有MAC 克龙的功能。

syslink 8 port support dmz, that their last solution for any tough application.

4 port also has DMZ, but still can't start voice conversation on MSN messenger.

Right, this is from Linksys.
-----------

As explained on Microsoft's support page, Client computers that use a NAT router are not able to use MSN, The Microsoft Network Messenger Service version 3.0 program to transfer files or establish voice connections. This problem occurs because MSN Messenger file transfer and voice features do not work through NAT routers because there is no NAT editor to correctly translate the IP header information.

This is MSN Messenger's software limitation.?Linksys Routers will not be able to bypass this until an appropriate NAT editor is available.

Yeah, I saw that page and I tried to bypass the firewall of the router. The problem is I CAN transfer files, but can't make a voice connection. So, I do not think "no NAT editor to correctly translate the IP header information" is a reason here.
According to the Linksys, if you use DMZ, your PC will directly connect to the internet like without router. But still can't make any voice connection...

according to the ms article, it's about how the upper layer handles the port.

if the port info is in tcp/ip, it's fine; if it's in applicaion layer, without a NAT editor it's screwed.

DMZ makes the computer exempted from firewall rules, but still using NAT to tranlate the ip/tcp/udp header.

should be interesting if we use computer soft router, and a sniffer to see how the packets are handled...
