Okay! I'll read as much as possible about it all :) Thank you for the advice ;-))) Julien. On Tuesday 29 May 2001 22:03, Tor Sigurdsson wrote:
Og course, you could use the solution I use :-)
I could, theoretically, have about sixteen million IP devices if I wanted and noone would know ( I have... uhm...six. )
I have a 486DX which I use as a masquerading firewall. I have only one IP from my ISP. The PPtP pipe on the firewall gets that IP. on the inside, I can have whatever IP's I want, and using masquerading, noone would know.
If you want to know how to install PPtP for ADSL on Linux, see http://www.tosmann.org/en/Linux/adsl
There is as I understand, a fairly good ADSL solution for pppoe included with SuSE 7.1 ( never used pppoe )
Read the howtos on firewalling and masquerading, they ARE helpful, albeit a little aged :-)

Hello! :)
The problem I will encounter with this solution is that my ISP will only allow the router to give 4 IPs to the LAN (through DHCP, right). Thus additional nodes could be only connected through a local proxy server (one of the DHCP client)..
I guess it is feasable but I'm not sure...

Hello!
I'm in front of a decision and would appreciate some advice :) I currently have a 5 nodes LAN containing a proxy server connected to the Internet through ISDN. ADSL is becoming available in my region in June and I've been waiting for this to come for years now.
I have dsl here in san francisco, and i have a relatively inexpensive router that allows 4 boxes to be connected to the dsl. It does dhcp, so you can use that for the four boxes, or you can give them each a static ip. It also contains a firewall.
I believe you can get them for more than 4 boxes. Mine is made by Asante' and costs about USD 150
