CRAIGD We've been using IPNetRouterX for a couple of months and have found it great. The developer has been very responsive to any issues we've raised.

ANONYMOUS Ahh, folks am I missing something here. The app is $100 and the upgrade is $50. Let me in on the $40 secret please! | |

MARKFLO Don't be paranoid. Yes, this is a commercial application. Yes, it costs $40. But it's worth every penny for the kind of enterprise-worthy power that's provided in an approachable, easy-to-use interface. Those of you that are moaning about the price -- DON'T BUY IT! It's obviously not meant for you. This is a great product, and Sustainable Softworks does not collect personal information -- what's wrong with tracking an IP address to make sure the transaction is cool? Jeez.

ANON $40 bucks is waaaay too much money. He has none of the associated overhead that comes with commerical software packaging and distribution, etc. which sells at COMP USA, etc, AND this app would NEVER see the shelf at $40.00! Not in a million years. Besides that, I have always wondered why he just has to have our IP EVERYTIME WE DOWNLOAD HIS PROGRAMS!!??! I resent this, especially in light of learning he kinda "keeps tabs on certain of us" To show you the "proof" I would have to "expose" myself - and I am not willing to do that at this time. You can believe it-or you can chose not to. Your call. I know this is good software. But its too expensive for what it is. And I don't buy from someone I don't trust. And I do NOT trust old Peter Sichel here..not on yer life......

ANONYMOUS Ummm... So don't buy it? I'll gladly pay the $40 to have the kind of routing power this app provides. Run it on a Blue G3 that you can get for less than $100 and for under $150 you have a truly enterprise-class firewall and router. With a first-class, easy-to-use GUI too!

RICH Did you know they also watch you from behind your television set? That's why I always wear shades. And my lucky socks. Sheesh! What a ding dong! I have always wondered why he just has to have our IP EVERYTIME WE DOWNLOAD HIS PROGRAMS!!??! That's the spooky scary iNT@-rWWWEB, kid. He could just check his webserver logs to see who's been downloading what directly.

MORGAN KNICELY This software is a lifesaver for folks that have to administer a network but don't want to spend time sifting through dozens of man pages and web sites to do so. There are plenty of high quality free tools out there to do everything that IPNetRouterX does, but who wants to install and research a bunch of different things when one app has it all? My old gateway/router died suddenly last month, and I was able to install IPNetRouterX on my XServe and get the network up and running in less than 4 hours.

ANONYMOUS "IPNetRouterX is a powerful router, firewall, and network management utility including NAPT with inbound port mapping, a built-in DHCP Server, AirPort configuration tool, bandwidth accounting, and rate limiting." All of this is free on any GNU/Linux, BSD, etc PC why bother buying crud software when you can get it all for free

ALLAN CLAUNCH In response to the above two comments: Why would anyone want this over an ACTUAL router? You obviously don't understand that not only is IPNetRouterX an ACTUAL router but it also is a Firewall, an IDS, an IPS, Bandwidth Accountant, Rate Limiter, and so much more! All with an elegant GUI interface to boot! Have you ever configured a Cisco router in an IOS terminal? Well I have, and let me tell you it ain't pretty. For a measly $100 and an old G3 Blue&White that was just gathering dust, I now have a dual redundant load balanced MONSTER that smokes the HARDWARE router I retired. I've had vendors pushing me $2000+ hardware solutions that can't touch this thing! P.S. It's driving a group of companies with 55 internet clients and multiple NAT'd servers so I ain't your typical home user! Could not get a single response? I emailed the programmer with suggestions I had while playing with the demo and within 2 HOURS he had emailed me back with a newer version with the changes incorporated! I hadn't even bought the program yet! Good luck trying to find that kind of response from anyone else anywhere else! Sustainable Softworks...you Rock! Southwestern Group of Companies, Inc.

ALEXANDRE ACKERMANS most of the users here seem to be your average home user tight on budget and ideas. Having a dedicated computer as a router allows for much better configuration than what can be found in hardware routers which are usually just DHCP+NAT+port forwarding. with a computer you can monitor traffic, block vast IP lists that can auto update (think peerguardian, privoxy for all computers of the network without a need to install and update individual machines) distribute bandwidth evenly between clients, etc etc...) and numerous other uses stop bashing the product for what it isn't and use it to give it a fair review. I for myself am pleased by its speed (faster than apple built-in) but think it lacks in better bandwidth fixing for clients. Shouls also be able to run as a service.

ANONYMOUS I must echo the sentiment of other reviewers. Why would anyone want this over an ACTUAL router? You can get multiple port routers with 802.11 as well (aka AirPort) that let you configure firewall and other nifty settings. And they cost LESS than Apple's AirPort routers. Consider that you would require a machine to act as the server, loading it up with multiple-port ethernet cards, in order for this software to be useful. Seriously, why would ANYONE want to spend all that money? Just go buy a standard router.

ANONYMOUS I tried to contact the developers many times about six months ago and could not get a single response, and that was for a simple volume license agreement. If that is the type of response for sales, I can only imagine how hard it might be to get simple support.

GOSTCODER $40? I might as well just buy a REAL router that will have DHCP and firewall built-in. It will also have 4 ports and not bog down my computer.

TINY-E This thing is a good example of 'half-a$$ed-ware'. I went through the same problem with sharing the modem connection. It's probably DNS-- make sure you put in the DNS server info that your ISP gives you in your connection's TCP/IP settings. I would seriously recommend VicomSoft's 'Intergate' over this software. The documentation is dated, and horrible.

ANONYMOUS So far I have been unable to get this to share my modem connection on my imac with my powerbook g4. I can get my modem to share over the ethernet but not using the airport cards that both have. My lan works well with both wireless and wired. I can only share the modem wired. What is the use of software that says you can do this but will not work. I do hope it is just some stupid config I am missing but networking is what I do. what gives. Better more concise documentation would be real nice. Make it work and I will write you a howto that works and that any person could duplicate. | |

PETER SICHEL It's hard to tell why sharing doesn't work for you via AirPort without more information. Can you email me directly? (psichel@sustworks.com) If you haven't already, please try setting both AirPorts to use computer-to-computer mode. I demoed this at Macworld earlier this month.
