I have finished testing the Dlink router. I have to return it to
Frys because it won't work on my home network. It has many big
drawbacks.. Lemme splain:
At first I thought it could operate in-line your existing network
as a layer 2 bridge. This would not require it have any IP
addresses, or any network changes whatsoever.. It would just have to
be placed physically in-line with the Internet connection. But, of
course, it doesn't operate this way. They're frickin idiots.
I wondered if I could just replace my existing firewall (NetScreen
5XT) entirely, but the Dlink doesn't do IPSEC VPNs at all. Also, I
was hopeful it had an ADSL modem built-in (like the new NetScreen
5XT ADSL does), but it doesn't.. So it kinda stinks you gotta have
3 hops between your PC and your ISP...
Next, I thought what the hell, lets configure it with IP addresses
and create a "middle net" and sandwich the Dlink between
my internal lan and the NetScreen firewall. I set this all up, and
then discovered the Dlink can't be configured as a pure router. It
absolutely must NAT at all times. So I couldn't keep my existing
public-private IP mappings using the NAT on my NetScreen. Thus,
anyone with more than one internal server is skrewed. What fricking
idiots. How hard is it to let you turn off the NAT function? Also,
when I did get a ping through the Dlink, it was very unsteady..
between 3ms and 90ms. Maybe this is part of GameFuel..
Then, I thought of another workaround, the least favorable but it
would work. I'd let the Dlink do its friggin NAT, and double-NAT my
traffic to the net. NAT once at the Dlink, NAT again by the
NetScreen.

Anybody know anything about the dlink router's gamefuel feature?
That router is really tempting :)
I checked the dlink website but they just have some marketing speak
that tells nothing about it like a list of supported games or if I
could tell the router somehow what programs got packet priority via
some software or whatnot. Thx in advance for any info u guys can
dredge up.

How's the quality on Seagate products nowadays? A couple of years
back they were about the worst hard drives you could buy.
