That'd be great, thanks.Give me a shout or drop me a mail in trust whenever you want to pick my brains.

Openswan?I'm happy to help you out if I can, and I've actually been debating starting a mini blog type site with all my BSD/Linux/networking tech bits - for my own future reference if nothing else. I already have a domain and plenty of options. As for your N66U though, you're going to struggle. They don't have x86 CPUs inside and perform all their routing (packet forwarding etc) in hardware. If you ask them to do any computational tasks they'll suffer. In plain English, they're rubbish for VPN and you'll struggle to get 30 - 50Mbps overall. It doesn't help that openvpn is a single threaded protocol either. Someone needs to set up a proper by nerds for nerds VPN service that's not reliant on openvpn. There are much faster, secure alternatives. I digress.
Openswan?
anyone moved house with virgin?
We should be moving out of our house in the next month or two and into a stop gap home for about 5 months then into our new permanent home once it is finished being built in december.
i've just looked on the virgin site quickly and it says you have to sign a new contract.
Is this a new new contract or just the same contract with a new address?
am, i going to have to pay extra because i'm moving twice in about 6 months?
Once the firmware is on, thats it, it wont downgrade with a reset.
is there any way of updating the firmware on the SH3???
I've had horrendous issues with lag spikes/request time outs etc - not able to ping google/bbc.co.uk etc for the last week at times. Spoke to Virgin today and their only solution was an engineer visit - I know that's going to do nothing as the chap I spoke to had no clue what I was telling him. Internet is working ok but can't play any games at all online as they are constantly lagging out etc.
There is talk of upgrading the firmware etc
The packet drop is horrendous as well. Up to about a week ago I've had no issues at all.
Firmware is pushed to your device usually in a region by region schedule, you can trigger an update check by doing a reboot on the hub.

ok thanks - been god awful the last week. hanging webpages, unable to play online games for lag etc - rebooted router a few times, reset my network etc etc.
Connection is there all the time but the packet loss etc is terrible.
I'm no expert in network stuff but surely I shouldn't be getting "Request timed out" to google dns etc??
You've probably got more than just SH3 issues and likely need the engineer visit to see if there's something going on between you and the cab.
