[gentoo-user] IP Masquerading hardware, crossover versus hub
I want a setup such as at http://www.fs-security.com/docs/pics/complexnat.png and am reading http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html to that end. However, there are just two machines, the gateway and a secondary. There's also a diagram at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ipmasq-background2.5.html. The gateway (?) is arrakis, the other machine is geidi_prime. Arrakis has a wireless connection, so geidi_prime needs to connect via arrakis for the internet. The two computers will probably be 20+feet apart. Would it make more sense to use a hub or crossover cable? thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Then when Caladan, Ix, Draconus_IV, Salusa_Secundus, and finally Tleiax enter your network, they too can be connected to the Spacing Guild as well. ; ) Then, if you want various transient satellites (wireless laptops, perhaps) to use wireless, then I'd have a cable from the hub to a wireless hub. Try to keep that wireless access point secured though. It might be better to keep a firewall in between the wireless access point and the rest of your network just to keep things secure. A hardware firewall, of course. I don't place much faith in software ones. But that's your decision. I just said how I'd build a network given that objective of setup. Hope you find something that works! -- == GCv3.12 == GCS d-(++) s+: a? C++ UL+ P+ L++ E--- W+(+++) N++ o? K? w--- O? M+ V? PS- PE+ Y-(--) PGP- t+++ 5?

The router belongs to a neighbor, with whom I, and another party, share the connection. I like that of the two replies, one was hub and one was no hub :) -Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
