First, my apology if I break the threading since my local SMTP has problem, so I need to switch to web-based mail. On Tuesday 03 June 2003 16:00, John Andersen wrote:
Since your url does not work, I have no idea if that is a modem or a firewall/router or what.
sorry, should be: http://broadband.motorola.com/noflash/sb5100.html
But the short answer is that for $12 you can buy a second network card for your linux box and turn it into a router/firewall for as many machines as you wish. You will need only one public IP for this.
We're all using laptop. So, we prefer a "real" router. I've checked a little bit about the motorola modem, and it's FAQ says that it doesn't support NAT. So it seems that we need to purchase a router. Btw, what is the difference between "router" and "broadband router"? Are there any significant technical differences? -- -- Verdi March -- -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!
