Re: Which Routerboard will run smoothwall?

There have been a few threads on the pfSense forum discussing pfSense vs RouterOS. My take (having used both) is that: pfSense runs only on commodity hardware and is more extendible than RouterOS RouterOS runs on (much) lower cost hardware for equivalent performance I'd say that you're better of wit...

Re: What is throughput?

Ah. In that case the initial figure you're referring to may instead refer to the overall link speed, not the actual traffic level. Getting a lower level of actual throughput is to be expected.

Re: What is throughput?

It probably means you're getting approximately 26 Mb/s (Megabits per second - about 3.3 Megabytes per second) of traffic to/from that host.

Re: RB 450G to help improve Netflix/Apple TV streaming

Changing your DNS servers won't make any difference to your ability (or not) to stream media (at least not in terms of sustained bandwidth).

Re: winbox not working on windows 7

Using the 4.0 Beta of Dude I can happily launch Winbox when I use my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) host. It may be an issue with Dude 3?

Re: spam cotrol

Yes - as has been said by myself and mrz - block 25/TCP (SMTP) for all except your mail server. Your clients will then have to relay their email through your mail server, where you can apply filtering.

Re: spam cotrol

Other than blocking port 25/TCP for anything other than your SMTP server (if you run one) there isn't anything you can do on the RouterOS box itself. If you have your own mail server then you can use one of the many anti-spam engines (commercial or free) to filter out spam and other malicious emails.

Re: spam cotrol

mrz, I assume you meant SMTP server?

sir, what are you trying to achieve? Controlling inbound spam to your mail server, outbound spam from your network or outbound spam from your mailserver?

Re: RB-450G DHCP-Client

Note that with cable networks in particular you may have to power down the ISP provided device before swapping connected devices. Many cable modems in particular are configured to only allow access to the first device (by MAC address) connected to them after power up.

Re: Static or dynamic modem address?

Have you configured the interface to use a dynamic IP (which includes the netmask and route)? Check the settings for dhcp-client.

Re: attack...

Are these "real" IPs allocated to you, or are you just using them?
