routers??

[user0182]

by "obviously", i just mean't that doesn't everyone check Wikipedia first? i did read the Wikipedia page, but i didn't read every article that it linked to.

i just wanted to check with you guys that i had understood what i had been reading, as i'm sure it is possible to read something and think that one has understood it, but still be mistaken.

i'll look into the FTP thing, SirDice, but i did read something about it. as i understand, FTP won't work throught NAT because the packets include IP Address information in the actual packet data, above the Network layer?

anywho, i was wondering what peoples opinions of networking hardware is and which is considered to be the best? i've been reading various product descriptions, for switches and routers, and at the moment i'm thinking that Linksys might be a good way to go, to run a multi-OS network (Linux, BSD, OS X, XP, Vista etc), what do you guys think?
