Anyone @home?
Monday, December 3, 2001 by DavidK | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Are there many @home subscribers here? Just wondered how it's going for you.
I had AT&T @home service in Oregon so I got switched to AT&T's broadband service which has about half the speed, an upload cap of 128Kbs and some serious DNS problems. (plus I lost my email address of "weekends@home"
)
I had a lot of trouble getting my network back online so if you're having any problems with an ICS or router connection you might want to try this; get the DNS server addresses for your area and put them in the TCP/IP setup for the modem's nic, then set a DNS suffix of attbi.com on all the nic's on your system. That was the only way I could get internet and POP3 access on all my machines.
How's your upload speed? Anyone know a way to increase the upload cap a bit?

Still fine on Comcast (Huntsville, AL). 128K upstream, and I've tested to 3Mbit down.
I worry how Comcast's own network will behave/perform when they get switched over.
