Wow, I just setup my cable internet connection on my gf's PC and did a bandwidth test and i'm varying between 400-500 Kbps. Now to figure out what my upload speeds are. Router came in today from mwave so time to do the network thang this weekend.

If NAT is not set up on the router will all network ports be blocked by default or will I have to check "Blocking WAN Requests"? If NAT is set up and the "Blocking WAN Requests" is checked will those ports still be forewarded? Oh well if you don't know no biggie since I'll will figure it out this weekend. Time to find a good file sharing program and an ftp server program.

You will have to set up NAT unless they gave you more than 1 ip. The router needs one on it's external interface.
