Over the weekend Apple released a new firmware upgrade to the Airport Extreme. I eagerly downloaded it and tried it out last night. Once again, my troubles getting to ares from zeus were instantly solved…. but once again the connection kept dropping every 15 to 20 minutes. So I reverted again to an older firmware… several versions old. And once again things do not drop, but the connection to ares will only work over the internal IP, not the external default host route. Oh well. Maybe the next firmware upgrade.
