RE: [Plug] Home Network and DSL

["Scott R. Myers" <scott@mytech.org>]

There are a few HOWTO's to read on this one depending on what you ulimately want to accomplish.  I'll be going through the same excercise over the next few weeks in preparation my DSL connection in September. 

 

I would suggest going to Linux.org and looking under their support section.  The HowTo's and mini-HowTo's to look for are the following:

 

IP Masquerading

Firewalling or IPChains

Ethernet

 

Optional ones are:

DNS (To setup a caching DNS server)

Proxy (To setup a Web caching proxy)

 

I think that'll cover it.  The titles aren't exact to what you will find there but you'll figure it out.  If you need some direct help let me know so we can discuss the details of what you're trying to accomplish.

Anyone willing to help,

    I have a small home network and a DSL modem connected via a network cable.  I would like to set up one of the computers with either Redhat or Mandrake 6.0 and have it control the internet connection.  I have no Idea where to start.  If someone would be willing to get me started by pointing me to the right HOW TO's that would be great. 

 

Thanks in advance
