I installed dd-wrt (x86) on an old pentium II to play with it before I put it on my router, Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with this software?

I've been running it on my router for about 8 months. I don't have many exotic needs so I don't use a lot of the features. What I can say is that before that I ran sveasoft and I was always having funky network issues that seemed to clear up with a router reboot. With dd-wrt I don't seem to get the same issues and I never have to reboot the router.

Im running Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) std.

You know I haven't thought about the firmware in so long what is the current version?

The web page says dd-wrt v24 rc6. I think it dated 01/02/08. I might like to possibly use it even for just the ddns feature alone. Thanx for the input.

doesnt the linksys do ddns as well? I have a version which I can put this on, but I havent really had time to do it, let me know how it goes for you.

I have been using it on a linksys router flawlessly for about 18 months. Would be interested on how this works on an pc. Should be quicker. I have an old PC that I have bee thinking of doing this but have just been procrastinating. My setup would require a wireless AP.(recommendations??) Just crawl around in the config tabs. Most of the settings will be site specific. There are two that I would recommend. Both in the Administration>management tab.

Setting bootwait to on will help if you ever need to recover.
