Hi guys, title says it all. I want to use my computer as a router and turn my current router (di-704p black HW A1 unit) into a 4 port switch. Since my router firmware doesnt support UPnP, i cant get any of my MSN messenger file transfers to work regardless of what ports i open, even with the AMIT firmware. So i was just wondering if anybody knew some good NAT software (for Windows XP) that supports many programs like MSN messenger. Also, to turn my router (the dlink one) into a basic switch, all i need to do is disconnect the WAN port and disable the DHCP server right? That should turn it into a 4 port switch right? Can anybody give me a link to a guide to all the different types of network cables too?
Thx
