Hi,
This comming fall I'll be attending UT as a freshman and staying in
Jester. I've look over some of the policy guidelines for using UT's
network. One of the big no no's they mention is not extending the ethernet
port beyond its current capabilites including hubs, routers, etc. Why and
is this really a big deal? I have 6 machines that I plan to network
together using linux and ipchains as the front end box to allow
the rest of the machines access to the Internet. I'm not going to use any
of these machines as a server, and setting this up isn't going to take
away anymore of UT's bandwidth. So is this really a big deal, and if it is
what are the penalties if your caught? I saw something mentioning shutting
off your port?!?
Nathan
