Next message: Gary W. Zuker: "[WinMac] OSX Home Directory mounting"
There was a time where whe had cable. The only problem in Mexico (maybe in
the US is the same) is that the cable company gives you a private dynamic
IP address, not an Public dynamic Internet IP address. Because of this, you
can´t control your server from the outside world, because the programs (pc
anywhere, remote administrator on the pc) can´t translate the address right.
That´s why we prefer DSL over cable. In speed and price doesn´t change very
much. It´s the little IP problem that make a diference, only if you are
going to use a program which uses IP Public address (IP telephony,
conferencing, remote control of a computer, etc.)
I hope this thoughs could help.

Asunto: [WinMac] Cable vs DSL
I'm considering getting high speed internet access for home use and have the
option of cable or DSL. What's the best way to go about choosing which one
would be best other than signing up and performing speed tests?
I've heard that in choosing between cable and DSL it really matters where
you are geographically and who is providing the service. I realize that
cable has a slightly higher potential bandwidth but that it's shared with
your neighbors where as DSL is more like a switched network. So how do I
know which to go with?
