1/13 Relating to yesterday's DSL topic, since the Basic package gives you
one IP address, is there a way to setup 2 or more computers to use
the same line?
\_ NAT
\_ que?
\_ My cousin Nat knows how to do this. nat@csua.berkeley.edu.
\_ yeah, and my cousin "guido" knows how to make you suffer
for a joke like that...
\_ NAT >> Guido.
\_ Network Address Translation. It allows multiple machines to
masquerade behind a single IP address. You would then set up
your "mask" machine to act as a router for your network, and then
have it run NAT for all internal machines.
\- NAT doesn't work with applications such as Net2Phone and ICQ,
that always reply back at specific high ports (such as 30000 TCP,
or UDP). So, unless you aren't planning on using such apps, don't
go with NAT. -leblon
\_ Well, StarCraft always wants to connect to port 6112, but that
doesn't prevent you from forwarding that one port to one
particular machine behind the firewall. Yes, only one person
can use it at a time, but half a loaf... If you're BuffLikeThat,
then you write a multiplexer, but hey.. --dbushong
\_ you get it for free under the freeware unixes. It you want to
do it under windoze check out winroute (<DEAD>www.winroute.com<DEAD> -ERic
\_ After glossing over the docs at the webpage, from what I
understand, you need 2 NICs on the main computer, correct?
One with IP Address to Internet (assuming cable modem/T1/DSL)
and one to your internal network. Is this right?
\_ You could get by with one, but you wouldn't want to. If you
only had one card, you'd plug the DSL modem straight into
the hub (i think you'd need a crossover cable for this) and
also have the NAT box on the hub. But then _every_ packet on
the network would have to be inspected and everything would
bounce over the hub like 3 times. In any case you need to
have a machine up all the time in the corner to be a router
(like me =) --dbushong
\_ For WinRoute? more or less. Though I don't bother myself
with the exact limitations of that pathetic excuse for
an OS. -ERic

| www.linuxrouter.org As of January of this year I have finally accepted the fact I will likely never be able to develop LRP into the operating system it could have been. A full 6 months later I'm forcing myself to update this page to reflect this. Aside from my general disgust at the computing industry and what the Internet has become, scrambling around for scrapes of work and praying for the next good money project that eventually ends suddenly in a few months, just isn't keeping food on the table. I've looked quite a bit for some stable work, but plumbers make more hourly then Sys Admins in South Florida. With LRP remaining an unachievable goal I don't even feel much desire to work with computers anymore. My many contributions to the computing community has reaped very little personal benefit for myself. As I now struggle to pay the bills I can not help but feel quite pissed off at the state of affairs, for myself and the other authors who contributed massive amounts of time and quality work, only to have it whored by companies not willing to give back dime one to the people that actually created what it is they sell. Acknowledgement and referral would have at least been acceptable. Care to tell me what Embeddix (for one) is based off of? Some 8 companies did contribute directly to the project. However a few thousand dollars or a few computers does not let a programmer eat next month. As desperately as I have tried for the last 4 years I have been unable to get any type of sustainable funding for LRP development or steady work which would allow such. I began to explore some ideas I previously had but thought were not realistic to pursue. This operating system had a good deal of specifications outlined for it and some preliminary proof-of-concept coding done. To this day I am only beginning to see very minor bits of what I had expected to have in production the summer of 2001. You see, unlike the current pile of Linux distributions which are based on 20 year old obsolete mechanisms, I was working on something that was from scratch. The full architecture for the packaging system was laid out. Oh yeah, and the base of this OS would have all fit in 8MB of space. The name of this operating system and it's specifications, shall still remain UNRELEASED. I'd like to hope someone with 6 figure$ to burn wants this to happen, but I need to grow up and move on instead of continuing to wait on the tooth fairy to show up to help me persue my artistic dreams. My thanks go out to the few people that did help to make happen the LRP that was released. Untrue to the opensource dogma, actually finding people to contribute work to a project is a task in and of itself. My special thanks to Phil Hands and Paul Russell who helped make the early days possible. I would have never learned to hate Bourne shell at a guru's level without your help. I wish at the time I had realized it's true worth, and encouraged you more with it. Charles Wright, the only guy who ever really helped with any needed coding of the LRP base. Vesselin Atanasov, we made portslave into something quite nice. My eternal disregard also goes out to those that thought they had something to do with LRP but really did nothing for it but complain on the mailing list, and to those that did do something with LRP and never tried to collaborate with me to further the project. |
