My connection to my provider is kind of slow, so they suggested I connect one of the box directly to the cable modem. |
| 2 |
Since I have a dynamic IP (that hardly ever changes), I'll disconnect the router and configure one of my box to the same mac address has router eth0 has and connect it to |
| 3 |
the mode. |
| 4 |
This should ensure that my IP will not change. |

All I want to do is to run a test speed from: testmy.net |
