2/8     I am thinking of getting an ADSL.  I have a choice of 5 dynamic
        IP, or one single static IP.  My issue is as follows:  I want
        to run my little server from home, but at the same time,
        I will be sharing this broadband with two or more computer.
        What should I do? Get the Static IP option and buy a router
        off shelf?  Would that give me the ability to run server?
        thanks.                 nerd wantta be
        \_ Dynamic IPs don't work with cable modem.
        \_ if the router does port forwarding (and most do), yes, you can
           run a server easily enough.  or you can go for the dynamic IP
           addresses and use something like dynamic DNS.
           \_ I saw http://easyDNS.com offer such service.  Any other relatively
              good and cheap DNS service?               -OP
                \_ DynDNS. They have great, configurable services, and
                   most don't cost.
        \_ I'd do the static IP.  A zillion small businesses run just fine with
           a single static IP.  You can too.  Dynamic dns gives a lame and
           highly unprofessional look to your domain.
           \_ While I suggest going with static IP, you can side-step
              the unprofessional look by making your FQDN a CNAME
              to your dynamic name (e.g., http://www.domain.com CNAME <DEAD>host.dyndns.org<DEAD>)
              \_ For the clueless (like me), how would I do this?
                 \_ 1) Set up a http://dyndns.org host (e.g., <DEAD>host.dyndns.org<DEAD>)
                    2) Register domain (e.g., http://domain.com)
                    3) Make http://www.domain.com an alias for <DEAD>host.dyndns.org<DEAD>.
                       You can use http://UltraDNS.com.
                    \_ Or pay for IP masking.  Try http://GoDaddy.com
        \_ Definitely Static IP. Then buy a $50 router for the rest of your
           machines. If you have a "server", just put that on the DMZ.
        \_ Thanks all for the reply.  I will probably go for Static IP
           and put the server in the DMZ like other people said. I will
              instead of putting it in the DMZ. there is a lot of network
           explorer various DNS service options.        -OP
           \_ for your first server, i recommend using port-forwarding
              instead of putting it in the DMZ. there are many network
              \_ Great idea.Go ahead and port forward to a insecure box
              security lessons you haven't learned.
              \_ Great idea. Go ahead and port forward to a insecure box
                 on your intranet. When the next wu-ftpd or proftpd exploit
                 comes out your entire intranet is compromised. Wozer!

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.

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?

5/23    I have DSL through AT&T. The service was originally established
        through PacBell, transitioned to SBC, and now AT&T. I still have
        my original plan and never converted to a SBC Yahoo! (now AT&T
        Yahoo!) account. I noticed the price will be a lot cheaper if I
        do. Are there any drawbacks? I thought someone mentioned some
        negatives about the Yahoo! tie-in once upon a time.

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
