Hi!
I'm jumping on the international/local split thing. Sick and tired of being broke all the time.
I have a Netgear DG834G router. I didn't want to do this bridge mode thing I've seen around here that requires it to act as a modem only so that I can use RouteSentry to split the traffic. The router isn't just doing 1 PC here, there's a notebook as well so need a solution on the router instead of proxying/routing the internal network through a PC and then to the router. However, on the one PC I run openweb's openrouter so it gets to use some local bandwidth for international surfing.
I've done the following on the DG834G to split 2 accounts.
It signs up with international account from Telkom.
The 2nd account is IS local only and hooked up to openweb openbrowse.
Telnet into the router and run the following:
wait for it to come up and then:
That last one was needed because the IS connection number was seeing a Telkom one I think via NAT (seeing 41.x.x.x instead of 196.x.x.x).
Seems to be working for all sites in the 196.x.x.x range. Problem is, do those pppd instructions seem alright to people? I seem to get a little slower throughput speed on the local account than I did before. Is the MTU/MRU stuff alright? I use openweb 512 openbrowse account on the IS connection, which used to get pages down at 50K/sec, but now they're down to 25K/sec. Or is this openweb oversharing accounts?
