caywind -> Something that works (3/21/2002 12:26:45) Hey, server dudes! Had the opportunity to set-up a home network using one of those D-Link cable/dsl routers. Boy talk about quick and easy. Here's the set-up ISP/DHCP server | >TCP/IP | >Surfboard-Cable Modem | >D-Link/DHCP | > workstations(4) req's: network card and cat5 cable from D-link 704 to each system, small knowledge of network control panel. All of the settings are server assigned so there's very little set-up...everything I tested worked (including AOL) <spellcheck> </spellcheck> Edited by - caywind on 03/21/2002 12:36:38

ginnie -> RE: Something that works (3/21/2002 21:23:14) Could you come over and do it for me now? ;-) I've been wondering about how difficult that would be. I think the biggest problem would be getting the wiring where it needs to be. ginnie Global Presence Web Design

markjlawrence -> RE: Something that works (3/27/2002 16:35:06) Nice job Caywind, maybe one day I'll give my 56k modem the kicking it deserves and get me a proper connection. I take it you've got a firewall in your setup somewhere? Although the router will help I guess! Will you be hosting from home then? Would love to hear about the performance? Am thinking of the same thing! If it weren't for pick-pockets, I'd have no sex life at all! Edited by - markjlawrence on 03/27/2002 16:37:20

caywind -> RE: Something that works (3/30/2002 16:14:39) Router has a firewall built-in. I looked at the settings and they are pretty good. ISP also has a firewall but it is very basic. I had considered hosting from home but the uptime and performance ruled it out (256k out). My ISP now offers a static IP address and I am considering using it but just for kicks or testing. If anybody wants to goof around with "home-hosting" I have a Windows2000 Server evalution CD. It is supposed to be only for 120 days but it keeps working after that anyway...or you could use Linux. I guess PWS could actually work but the number of connections is limited... <spellcheck> </spellcheck>
