Re: Plus.Net NAT problems?

[Stuart Grimshaw <stuart@xxxxxxx>]

No, I don't have this problem. While I don't have 2 machines gaming at the
same time, I do do things like set Linux off downloading something then go
for a quick blast on Counterstrike or TFC. I can't say that I've noticed
any drop in performance.

The best place to try is one of the ADSL newsgroups, no disrespect to
Plusnet but their tech support staff won't have a clue. They'll just phone
BT. I've been down the route of trying to get Plusnet to sort an ADSL
problem. One tip is make sure you always speak to the same guy.
