Gak !!
Router, gateway, switch, hub #%$#^&**
They are all the same to me - except maybe hub which might be a piece of
wire I guess. I tried to find out what the essential differences were before
I got involved in this - with no luck.
The booklet for the DLink says Router on the cover.
The Freesco doc says Router. (or bridge under a different configuration)
Gateway ? Doesn't this just depend on how you use it ?
To me they are all switches. :(
Yes, the Freesco router provides DHCP service. It seems from Michael's post
I need a BOOTP server if I want to use the NCSA Telnet.
>From the Freesco manual:
Other features of FREESCO are:
Bridge mode
Firewalling and Network Address Translation
DNS Server
DHCP Server
HTTP Server (public and control purpose)
Telnet server (only one connection per time)
Print Server
Remote Access Server (up to 2 modems)
Time Server
