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?
        \_ DHCP is probably better than static IP for each computer
           b/c you don't have to bother setting up IP on each computer
           and if they ever get a new computer they can plug it in
           and get it running w/o your help.
           You could probably get away with a netgear (or some such)
           hardware only router/firewall, but if you want a bit more
           security, get a sff pc and run Open/FreeBSD w/ pf.
        \_ I humbly recommend getting a PCEngines WRAP 1E-2 with case and
           64MB CF card from http://www.pcengines.ch and running
           M0n0wall (http://www.m0n0.ch/wall on it.  You can turn the
           WRAP/M0n0 into a wifi AP if you want, although I'd run that on
           separate hardware off the third interface.  Use DHCP.  -John
        \_ or you can be non-elite and install a D-Link DGL-4300 gaming
           router next to your DSL modem.  Then just get some 802.11g NICs
           for each computer and you're all done.  If you want wired, you can
           buy some 8-port gigabit switches and run the wire along the
           bottoms of the walls.  http://newegg.com users say the DGL-4300 is rock-
           solid.  servers can be static IP from with IP address w.x.y.2 to
           .99, and you can have your router give out .100 to .253 for
           the dynamic IPs.
        \_ I can't believe this post mentioned his girlfriend's mom and
           nobody took the bait.
           \_ have you seen his girlfriend's mom?

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

6/28    Q: What are folks using these days for anti-spam measures?  I'm
        looking for something that integrates with my MTA (postfix) or my
        delivery agent (sieve).  Currently I'm using a crufty version of
        spamassassin wired into postfix via amavisd-new.  It's decent, but I
        don't want to be bothered with manually upgrading spamassassin or
        updating rulesets on a regular basis.  Anyone have any experience

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?

8/29    What SMTP settings should I be enabling/disabling for soda?  I can
        receive csua mails over IMAP on my treo just fine, but I always
        get relay denied errors when sending outside http://csua.berkeley.edu.
        \_ Dunno the answer, but I have the same problem.  I ended up
           using Gmail's SMTP server.  The only thing is that you'll have
           register your CSUA email account with Gmail so that it'll let

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

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)

License Last update: 11/11/2004 Current version: 111 Latest beta version: 12b2 m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall sof tware package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software). m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web se rver, PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent. m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configu ration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format. Security update for m0n0wall 11 m0n0wall 111, which fixes a security hole in the DynDNS client (ez-ipupd ate), has just been released. If you use the DynDNS client in m0n0wall, you're strongly urged to upgrade as soon as possible. Article about m0n0wall in French magazine Login: Thanks to Vincent Fleuranceau, an article with detailed instructions on h ow to set up m0n0wall for beginners has been published in the French mag azine Login:!
