8/20    Please submit cheap and easy way for my 1 @home machine to give
        access to other machines in home?
        \_ buy a cheap router (~$100) ... or put dual NICs in one of your
           machines and have it act as a proxy
        \_ Assuming you have a static IP, get a Linksys router.  I got one
        with 8 10/100 ports and setting it up is really simple.  I've heard
        that if you don't have a static IP the Linksys sucks. -eric
        \_ but there is a number of similar products from netgear, smc,
           d-link, etc. check out http://www.practicallynetworked.com
        \_ Don't bother. @home is going belly up any minute now.
           \_ So this is cool.  I had: @Home, then @Home + DSL (Northpoint).
              Northpoint goes boom, they put me on Rhythms (about 2 months
              ago).  Rhythms goes boom.  They're moving me to Covad now.
              Let's see if @Home can live until my Covad lights up, but
              before Covad fails to get their required funding to live till
              2002.  Argh.
        \_ Free: Install 2 NIC, enable connection sharing in windows for
           NIC attached to @home.  Totally insecure...  Or go buy your favorite
           386 on ebay, install OpenBSD, nat, firewall, etc...
           \_ A machine in the P150, PII 266 or SS20 range will be much
              better than a 386, since you will be able to apply patches
              and rebuild faster.
           \_ Oh blarg.  Just pay $80 for a router/hub/firewall and be done with
              it.  I love my SMC Barricade--even has DHCP server, and can do
              PPPoE for my DSL connection.

11/7    Need help on http proxy. After I VPN to work, I'd like to tunnel
        all the traffic to my machine. How do I setup my machine (Linux)
        as a proxy server so that my home computers can route through it?
        I'm asking because the site we're testing on requires that we
        come from the same IP. If I use VPN, the server will reject me
        based on the fact that it's a different IP than my work Linux.

8/5     It looks like my company has started blocking HTTPS tunneling.
        I used to do this by tunneling SSH through the HTTP/HTTPS proxy
        server, but this seems to have stopped working. Does anyone know
        how the implementation of tunneling detection works, and whether
        there are widely available implementations? We run a bunch of MS
        stuff, so I imagine we're running an MS proxy server or something.

8/9     Is there an automated way to change the IP of an XP machine? I have
        tests that need to get run on two separate sub-nets that now require
        me to physically go in and change the IP address of the test box.
        Cygwin is also installed if that helps any. Thanks
        \_ There are a few sort of hackey ways to do it:

6/28    what?
        We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints,
        we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located
        outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize
        the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are
        required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but

4/19    After installing Logitech wireless mouse, my friend cannot connect from
        his PC to his wireless broadband router via a USB wireless network
        device.  It said that it cannot obtain IP address from the router.  Even
        uninstalling the Logitech wireless mouse doesn't help.  Do you know how
        to fix the wireless LAN problem, so that his PC can obtain IP address
        again?

6/15    Oh dear lord.  It seems SpamCop is blacklisting certain IPs used by
        Gmail.  Gmail does not reveal the sending IP for privacy reasons, so
        when Gmail users send mail to honeypots, Gmail's servers get
        blacklisted.  Has anyone else noticed this?
        \_ SpamCop has long been a bastion of incompetence. --scotsman

3/24    I want to write in my DSL router to allow incoming connection

2/18    My DSL modem's ip address is 192.168.0.1, my internal network
        behind my router is 10.0.0.x. Is there a way I can configure
        the router so I can access the DSL modem from my 10.0.0.x
        network directly without re-wiring? Static routes? I tried it
        but no much luck. I also tried changing my internal network to
        192.168.0.x, but still does not work. Thanks.

1/28    Just switched to Comcast from SBC and generally happy with it.  But
        can someone please explain to me why they are constantly pumping
        ARP traffic through the network?  It seems harmless, but I'm curious
        as I didn't see it with DSL.  It's a little disconcerting to see
        constant traffic on your router, even if ARPs are harmless from
        a bandwidth perspective, and it makes the WAN send/receive light

1/21    I am trying to setup a small network for my girlfriend's
        mom's company.  They just bought an accounting package
        which requires windows 2003 server.  And they want internet
        access from each computer.  How should the network be setuped?
        Would it be dumb to use static IP for each computer and a
        computer as internet gateway?

8/29    What's the difference between a hub, a switch and a router?  Thx.
        \_ AFAIK, probably be corrected by someone:
           hub: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith shared amongs all
                the nodes on the hub and maxing out at the max line speed.
           switch: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith greater than
                the max line speed (point to point)
