Re: Networking Question

Thank you Ben, and all who responded. Yes, that was the overwhelming consensus, the single router/firewall solution feeding two gateways. It makes perfect sense. Have a great weekend. Greg On 11/7/2015 9:40 PM, Ben Scott wrote: > On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Greg Kettmann

SHORT VERSION - Would a Networking expert mind giving me a call (or I can call them) to discuss the best way to have two ISP's, on my home network, with the ability to easily switch back and forth? Greg Kettmann (603) 496-6071 LONG VERSION - Thanks in advance for any help. I'm no stranger

FiOS/networking question

Hey folks, I have FiOS coming to the house.. it is brought into the basement of my house... I've had it for over a year now and what I did was this: I completely bypassed the D-Link non-wifi router they supplied and instead took the Cat5E cable coming out of the FiOS box in my basement and

One more thing I forgot to mention. I have a Vonage ATA plugged into the LAN side of the Linksys WiFi router.. Will I be able to leave it there? I *could* plug it into the LAN side of the D-Link ... but I'd have to do some rewiring to pull that off. J. On 11/19/06, Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FiOS/networking question

OK, Update: Plugged the FiOS into the WAN port on the D-Link. Connected a LAN cable from the D-Link to the jack in the basement wall, turned off DHCP on the Linksys WiFi router and turned on networking via DHCP on the laptops. So, the WiFi network upstairs and the Vonage ATA is working. The

Progress! OK, Figured out in YAST what needed to be changed... ran through the changes... ran downstairs and unplugged the SuSE box from the Speakeasy DSL modem and plugged it into the D-Link and then gave it a hard reboot ... was able to catch the IP set by DHCP and can ssh into the box via

This is getting better all the time.. Ok, i think i figured out, on the D-Link interface, how to port-forward ports 80 and 22, so, from outside my network (tested it from grace.speakeasy.net) i can ssh to and open a web page on the SuSE box on my internal network! I'm still trying to figure out
