Equipment Advice please

I'm looking for a ADSL router with 8 ports, preferably with a inbuilt
firewall as well (not just the NAT function)..

Anybody got any clues where I may find such a beast or who even makes one..

The reason I'm looking is that I'm at the moment using a SAR130 into a
RO318, hence 2 sets of NAT protocols to go thru & the obviouse hit on the
connection.

If I can't get a 8 port I suppose i'll have to go with a 4 port & then add a
switch & yes I honestly do need at least 6 ports permanently connected at
all times, honest...

A quick Google has revealed the Netgear FR328SUK at about 127 GBP from
Expansys.

Nope it's a Cable/DSL router, I require the unit to contain the ADSL
interface as well, but thanks anyway, it's a improvement on the one I've
already got, more settings to play with so more things to go wrong...

Don't know of a unit with that manuy ports but you do realise you can
hook up the router to a separate switch? So a one- or four-port router
and a five- or eight-port (or more) switch will get you where you're
going.

I would recommend the Zyxel Prestige 660H61 and a Zyxel switch - coz
we sell'em but remember we sell 'em coz they're reliable. The
Prestige has a full SPI firewall built in, as well as full-feature
NAT.

Do they make your spelling go wonky as well? Can that feature be
turned off?

The one thing that has surprised me about having access to the
internet has been seeing the number of people who think only people
who hold university degrees should have access to the internet.
Would you say this face to face to him or anyone else I know that if
you said it to me you would not be left standing a few seconds later .

Yes, I would say it to someone's face: the ability to run a spell check
isn't an indication of an elitist education, but a sign of consideration for
the reader.

It's a shame that you feel you would want to resort to physical violence
when confronted by verbal criticism. That perhaps says a great deal about
you, and would be unsuccessful in my case. 10 years of kickboxing and 5 of
Krav Maga are useful disciplines to have in reserve when meeting sloping
foreheads such as yourself.

Been to your site & can't find a trace of the unit quoted I'm afraid....

Indeed, I saw DSL and didn't see the cable part of the description.

Personally I have a Draytek 2600 and a Netgear DS108.....

Who said that then? I haven't got a university degree, I don't even
want one but I can cope with the internet and I can write and spell
properly.

In English? I think you're trying to tell me you're a twat, but I
don't understand you.
