Re: [PCI] Setting up network

[James Rice]

RTFM.  That being said,  you don't need two NICs in the Performa.  Look 
at the config wizard for the router and set the Performa's private LAN  
IP address as the DMZ server.  This puts the Performa outside of the 
firewall.  Most home ISP's only issue one public IP and the route 
already uses you one public IP, so you can's connect the Performa ahead 
of the firewall and not have it fight over the issued IP address.  If 
you have a connection that has multiple static IP addresses, then you 
could put a hub/switch in the cable segment between the DSL/Cable modem 
and the router to connect the Performa on a public IP address.

Dear List:
I have a Performa 6360 which I want to set up on my home network. I
currently have two other computers, a Power Mac G4 and a Powerbook G4,
connected through my D-Link DI-624 Wireless router. The Power Mac is
hardwired to the router and the Powerbook is wireless. Both of these
computers are protected by the router's built-in firewall.
I want to configure the Performa so that it is outside the firewall. This
computer has two ethernet cards already installed.
