- When a computer accesses a web-site say http://www.youtube.com does the request travel like this: [PC]==>[HDA]==>[Router]==>{{Internet}} ?
- Would the following response return as follows: {{Internet}}==>[Router]==>[HDA]==>[PC] ?
- Does this mean that the HDA is a potential bottleneck for people accessing the internet?
- Does this also mean that the HDA should be connected to one of the first four ports on my WRT54g router?
- Would the following response return as follows: {{Internet}}==>[Router]==>[HDA]==>[PC] ?
- Does the following topology require alteration: (it is my current setup)
Code: Select all

- When the router DHCP server is turned off and Amahi box is DHCP server my Xbox will not get an IP address (00.00.00.00), but other computers receive IP addresses only it is a much longer process to receive the address.
- Are there any other folks running their routers with DHCP addressing on and having success. I believe I heard something about limited or no access to the http://hda/ and http://torrents/ page. I guess my main question is how can I get the dhcp server on my Amahi box to reliably give out IPs to all machines be they gaming devices, cell-reception boosting devices, or just computers. Sorry for my long-winded first post.
I appreciate any input on the broad range of questions I posed. Thank you again for providing such a great service and keep up the work!
