I too had problems holding iron, wire, solder, flux and board at the same time, have tripod now and prolly not the best idea, but now i leave a blob of solder to heat on the side of the tip which eats out a cavity and allows for more solder then i can solder 4 leads before "refueling".
my new systems are the HYTRON CGN3 modem/router and a ASUS RT-N12 as the second system.
PC is on second system lan, and Laptop is CGN3 wifi,
also i have noticed that pings travel between both systems ok, maybe i will try opening all ports on ASUS. or would turning dmz on help?
i have configured ASUS to static ip on CGN3 side, and firewall off but as soon as nat on ASUS is shut off i loose all access through the WAN to LAN wire,ie normally i can access router1 form network2, and network2 internet goes down,.
Network/Host IPI also found in ASUS router the LAN>Routing tab, but this only has static rout option, but i think im in right place cos this is only one with options for HOSTIP, Netmask,Gateway,Metric,Interface , so what do i put here?
also on CGN3 i cannot find these settings, maybe there is another name besides "dynamic Route"? cos i hafta set this up on both sides rite?
