    Allright, I'm assuming there's alot of people in the Networking area that are much more knowledgeable than me in this field ;)

    Basically, I want to know if anyone has any other recommendations to my network/internet setup. Here's what I have running atm.

    I have an ADSL2+ Connection 20000 down and 1000 up, 25gbs cap a month. (I usually see about 19700 down and 920 up and use about 80 - 90% of my cap, although this month I've used it all with 12 days left :-D :-o

    I use the modem that my ISP provides, I run my machine on a Gigabit LAN connection and one Desktop + 1 sometimes 2 laptops in Wi-Fi (Desktop and 1 laptop 54mbps, the other laptop on 108Mbps) ... the Wi-Fi utilises WPA2 Encryption, I use NIS09 as my AV and Firewall (I know I know but 09s the best one they've made yet!!! :-D :p), I use Peer Guardian 2 as stray packet and intrusion blocking, I have port and ping stealthing enabled, these attack detection methods blocked on the router TCP/UDP Port Scan, Invalid Source/Destination IP address, Packet Flood (SYN/UDP/ICMP/Other), Invalid TCP Flag Attacks (NULL/XMAS/Other), Invalid ICMP Detection. The only ports I have forwarded are for Frostwire, uTorrent and Steam.

    I have this machine, plus the other desktop set up to receive RDP from the 108Mbps laptop (local), the other desktop has the printer attached and is used as a gateway for printing ... the Gigabit LAN cable I use is only 2m long :p ... and well yer if you need any other info, let us know ... :major

    Recommendations??
