- markng 14y agoright, I'm not so sure that's because of DHCP, though.
- danw 14y agoDHCP pool being exhausted or NAT table getting full are the two main problems I've seen at hackdays
- markng 14y agoAlso, that's mostly when you don't tell people "hey, can you not put your iPhones and Android mobile phones on the wireless?"
- Leeky 14y agoThe issue is mainly that domestic routers NAT tables tend to overflow with that many users on them. Either this causes them to reboot (if they're crappy) or truncate the table, killing the oldest connection.
