2007/7/13-16 [Computer/Networking] UID:47279 Activity:nil | 7/13 I'm thinking about getting a Soekris 4501 to replace my the P2-400
that is currently acting as my home firewall. Has anyone used a
Soekris system for this purpose? If so, how well does it work? Also,
if there are any alternatives (similar power/form factor), I would
appreciate links to those as well. tia.
\_ John got me to use a WRAP box similar to Soekris. I use this one:

2006/8/3-6 [Computer/Networking, Computer/SW/OS/Linux] UID:43887 Activity:nil | 8/3 Similar to the post below, I'm planning to set up a machine outside
of the firewall and I'm considering FC3/4 or RH9, and maybe others
too. Since it's outside of the firewall, security is a concern. In
addition, manageability is a huge issue for me as I'm not intimately
familiar with RPM package resolutions. What do you guys suggest?
\_ Whatever you do, I'd recommend at least looking at selinux. For

2006/3/15-16 [Computer/Networking, Computer/SW/OS/FreeBSD] UID:42241 Activity:nil | 3/14 I'm looking for a good tutorial/howto for setting up IPSEC
on my *BSD router/firewall. Basically I want to be able to
access my home network while I'm on the road (iBook w/ OSX
10.4), and I don't want to set up a bunch of SSH port forwards
to talk to various services. Any pointers?

2006/2/13-15 [Computer/Networking] UID:41829 Activity:nil | 2/13 Do I really have to point my cisco pix at some cert. authority
if I want to use keys (instead of "pre-shared secrets") ?
I can't just self sign?? wtf?
\_ Actually, why not just create a CA signing cert with OpenSSL
(it's not that hard), sign a cert with that, and then import the
CA public key into pix? Or use a static passphrase for phase I

2006/2/15 [Computer/Networking] UID:41862 Activity:nil | 2/15 I'm trying to get someone setup on iChatAV but it appears that their
ISP is blocking port 5060 (the SIP port) in order to promote their
own VoIP products. Does anyone know of any clever ways to circumvent
this (like port forwarding, proxy, etc.)?
\_ Yeah--get a decent firewall (I'm going to keep on mentioning
M0n0wall on WRAP) that does port NAT. That, or IPSEC, although

2006/1/22-24 [Computer/Networking] UID:41477 Activity:nil | 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?

2006/1/2-4 [Computer/SW/Virus] UID:41199 Activity:nil | 1/2 Which Windows anti-virus software do you trust/recommend?
\_ Linux
\_ I think the general consensus is that Kaspersky is the best AV
program you can buy. Among the free AV programs, Avast! is well
regarded, followed by AntiVir. ClamAV seems pretty good if you
want to go open-source. --jameslin

2005/10/9-10 [Computer/Networking, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:40027 Activity:very high | 10/9 Dear MOTD, I'm looking to give a bunch of windows users access to a
filesharing solution on a unix box. They're not terribly technical,
and have mainly browser access. Is there some sort of open source
web based toy running over SSL that mimicks what they would see on a
windows fileshare, with drag&drop/copy&paste? -John

2005/7/17-19 [Computer/Networking] UID:38664 Activity:nil | 7/17 Got any recommendations for the WiFi service(s) in the South Bay? My
main concerns are security (I am a WiFi idiot. Just want to make sure
that my WiFi transmittions are secure. Is this possible?), stable
connections once I am connected, and widely available. Some of the
Starbucks branches have been referring me to T-Mobile, but the T-Mobile
does not seem to have a full list of the available WiFi spots it
