RE: [PLUG] DSL is working
|
Of course, to directly his Windows machine to the linux box, he'll either
need a hub or a cross-connect cable. His choice.

Since he only has one other machine to connect, I didn't feel a hub was
necessary. By setting up IP Masq and use the linux box as the default
gateway, he'll meet his immediate need without having to get multiple IPs.
He can always add a hub or switch later if he wants to add more machines.
He could set up his box as a gateway without masq, but that would mean he
needs more routable IPs at $5 more a month. Wouldn't take long to save that
money using an IP Masq setup and a second NIC (3 or 4 months tops). That's
what we do at work and it runs very well. We have some twenty machines
sharing a single static IP. The only downfall is that I wish we had some
sort of traffic shaper to control the bandwidth used by each workstation.

In Re. IPMasq
It'd be easier to get a 4 port hub and use your Linus system as the default
gateway. for someone to access your system, all they'd have to do is
telnet ( or preferably ssh ( Nod to Kyle) cause telnet sends authentication
in cleartext) to your gateway, and then move on to whatever other system
you may have set up.
if you've already got the NICs, then the only thing you'd need would be the
hub, which should cost about a bill.
Peace,.
