It is VERY easy to configure a router to share internet. Your options for provider (speed) depend on location. No provider needs to know what OS you use. You don't need to use any ISP's apps if they do it right. Some require you to register a MAC (hardware address of network card) via IE browser when you first connect. You can still use Linux and router by 'cloning' that MAC address with the router once you have it setup, and no-one knows the difference. You can even do this VIA linux if your clever enough to figure out the right IP address of the registration web page. B-) On Wednesday 01 December 2004 09:49 am, Franz Preihs wrote:
Subject: broadband with Suse Linux
Hey I would like to get broadband for my 2 computers.
What are the best options for it, because I need probably 3-5 Gbite / month download abilities.
BT told me that they don't support linux. I got to know that I have to get a router. Is that right? If yes - Is it difficult to configure a router? I have suse Linux on both of my computers and not yet an internetconnection at home.
What do you think about "onspeed" to speed up the line?
Does anybody have experience with installing broadband and Suse Linux?
Thanks for your answers Franz Preihs
