I find with these home routers the firmware is designed in a very simplistic way and some of the higher end options you'd want aren't included.draytek were mentioned and they aren't bad bits of kit at all, used them in the past and was pleased with them and they aren't mega bucks

Are you connecting using a hostname or an IP address? Is anybody else having the same issue?

We went with Virgin media business broadband and they installed a Cisco 2921 router which works it well as I am a CCNP

Tried both tbh. We have yet to be issued a static ip but I have been manually updating the address each time until the static one is issued.

Yeah but changing it with my DR is not a lot of hastle. They tend to have a good few days lease on the ip's anyway.

They don't come with them unless you ask for it. Once you've requested it they do a DHCP reservation type thing to the routers MAC.

I detest my BT router, but I don't do anything exciting now so it does what it needs to

Right so I am in need of ordering a new router, it slipped past me that the old one I planned on putting back in is ADSL where as I need a cable one.

Another question now though.

Why the hell are all client computers on the network getting very slow internet access. It has been like this a while now but only now am I looking into it.

Clients point to the Server DNS. The server NIC is set to itself for DNS and forwarders are added in it's DNS to point to Googles DNS servers). It's as if the server can't distinguish between an internal and external DNS request and is checking it's own cache first.

Time for a Draytek

I'd wait until you replace the router and then see if that is still an issue. Providing you have checked the obvious on the server of course.

By obvious what are you referring to?

Now I must admit I am currently running a risk in that our server software went EOL last month but I have an external company installing software upgrades on the new server when I set it up in 3 weeks time.

Believe it or not but ancient SBS2003. Have Server 2012 on a fresh new server ready to be installed. I wanted it in sooner but the external company can't come until next month and I need to coincide the upgrade with them.

I could quite believe it. I still look after a few of them.

That's a shame, if you weren't so far away I could've had you one in a week

What you using for mail now exchange isn't included?

I'm doing the upgrade of the Server that's not an issue. The issue is that our crm is outdated and the old version is incomapatible with 2012. So I need to install server, attach clients etc and then they need to come in and install upgraded crm.

We are on office 365 now as it gives us up to date office suite as well which was in need of an upgrade.

You mean "Servers" surely?
