I am the law!
here is the situation:
I have a netgear fs 105 switch with three computers plugged into it [100 base t]. Then I have the cable modem plugged into the uplink port of the switch. Our cable provider gives us 3 IP addresses, so all three computers have "real" IPs. All of the computers are configured to use DHCP as well.
The problem is when i go to transfer a file within the LAN [afp, ftp, etc] I am stuck at 40 k/s because the traffic is routed out to the internet first [my outgoing bandwidth is capped at 40k/s]. The gateway for all of the machines is not on the lan and we do not have our own subnet.
I know it could be solved by getting a router / gateway but I don't want to spend the money. On top of that, it's nice having all the machines with their own non 192.168.x.x IP.
Is there a way to create static routes between the three local machines so that I can move files at 10Mb/s instead of 40Kb/s? Kilowatt also suggested binding 192.168.x.x addresses using ifconfig to the ethernet cards, but I'm not sure how this would work... Any help?
