At present the layout is as follows: 192.168.168.X: 2 x PCs (via etho 0) NAS Connected via 5 port gigabit switch 192.168.168.1.X: ADSL Router 2 x PCs (via eth1) So in effect I have two networks running. I want to throw the ADSL router into the mix so all devices are Internet facing, but at the same time ensure that traffic between all devices bypasses the router (unless of course it's intended for the Internet). I have another gigabit switch lying around in a cupboard somewhere. FWIW, all my NICS and switches support 9k jumbo frames - this was a criterion when selecting switches, mobos and NICs. In any event, jumbo frames is turned off because the NAS doesn't handle it well. -- audiomuze *If you want continued support for Customscan and Custombrowse plugins, vote for 'Bug #6023 - New plugin hooks to implement scanning functions' (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6023) and let Plugin developers do what Logitech won't.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73714 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
