Re: Shall I switch to superhub or not?
 
Well tomorrow afternoon is when I get my own personal improvement in jitter - assuming it doesn't turn out to be a no-show of course which apparently does happen according to complaints I've seen in the BT forum.

Good luck to those of you who will be persisting with cable.

I wanted to forward ports to internal IP addresses and limit it to apply for only certain external addresses. I can't see a way to do it unless I'm being stupid

That doesn't sound like something you would be able to do with the majority of consumer oriented routers.

Oh. I could do it on an old Netgear you see which is why I thought I'd ask. thanks anyway.

i wonder how people make it so they can access their files from outside of their home lan with fairly normal kit :-/

If I was looking to block ip's to just a particular machine on the network I would set up a firewall on said machine to block incomming from all but the ip's you want to allow. That can be an issue however if you want to use the machine. If you still have that router you could set it up with the superhub in modem mode. But without knowing the model of the Netgear router I would have to say it might limit speeds.

Personally when I share content out of my home server I usually rely on authentication with whatever program I am using.

I think the old Netgear (I THINK WNR802 rings a bell....) would probably limit speeds, although I chose not to go down the superhub road in the end, because I'm possibly moving house to a non-VM area (:()

Assuming you mean user/pass auth, just out of interest, do you ever check for hack attempts?

I suppose I could go quite tech and get a firewall inside a virtual machine in my little server and route the whole internet connection through that, but I don't know if I can be bothered.....I think like you say, a username and password might be an option
