And as I said in post #4?

And as I said in post #27.

LOL --- I was complaining about your post 27 when I quoted it in post 28. Did you even notice that? Do you even read this stuff?

I didn't count Averagesupernova's post 4 because he didn't provide any specific helpful information. (I want to build a router --- OK, study some routers)

Anyway, I think the consensus is clear. Download some router firmware and start dissecting it. I happen to like dd-wrt, but maybe there are simpler implementations to start with.

I know what you were complaining about. Where I live we have a thing called humour, I know this is a foreign concept to some people and I also know that humour often doesn't translate well across national boundaries. Smile!
 
us dummies need smilies :) or we don't know to laugh.
