apple airport - interferes with downloads!
 

I have a cable internet connection and an airport - last night i decided to try downloading plugging straight into the cable modem with an ethernet cable. I instantly went from 4 to 5 connections listed in the connection window to about 50. Also my downloads were way faster and more reliable, not to mention i have people uploading now, which never used to happen. I also was getting file corrupted messages on several downloads before and haven't got one since (i downloaded a bunch of music and four programs last night) Has anone else had this experience? Just thought people should know, I have'nt seen any warnings about using an airport to download anywhere.

i also have this problem using a G4 / Panther connected to airport via ethernet cable... i get search results but connecting to another user is very difficult. before airport, no probs.

anyone...

To get more results you will need to configure the port 6346 to be forwarded from your Airport base station to your computer.

But you will probably see some stability problems with Airport base stations in general, see my thread in the OS X section from a few days ago.
