I'm guessing the ADSL router is one of those with several LAN ports ? If that's the case I'd do as follows:
- Connect a cable between the ADSL router and the gigabit switch - Connect a cable between the gigabit switch and PC1 - Connect a cable between the gigabit switch and PC2 - Connect a cable between the gigabit switch and the NAS If it's a problem having the NAS connected to the gigabit switch (due to Jumbo frame problems) it should also work to connect it directly to the ADSL router instead. In this setup only one of the NICS in the PC's would be used. You would only have one local network and every unit on that network would have both access to internet and access to the other units on the local network. If you for some reason want to limit internet access for some devices, I'd just get another cheap router that has a built-in firewall where you can restrict the internet access from some MAC/IP adressses. In this case that router would be placed between the gigabit switch and the ADSL router. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73714 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
