    Virtual IPs in Windows

    Howdy all, it's been a while since I've posted. I'm curious about binding multiple IP addresses to a single network adapter in Windows XP where one IP is given by DHCP and another IP is statically set. The network I am using gives out addresses by DHCP assignment, but often I need to configure...

    PPPoE...Is this possible?

    Yes, it's possible. I do this on my home wireless network. I run the pppoe daemon on a linux router, denying all traffic forwarded from the wireless interface, but allowing forwarding on traffic from a ppp[x] interface, thus requiring users to login using PPPoE in order to pass traffic beyond...

    virtualization and security

    There are several ways it can be done. VMWare is certainly one way, and is probably the most secure, given the servers will run incompletely separate environments. Other options would be to run multiple instances of Apache, each bound to separate ports (see the Listen directive), or to run a...

    Who makes a long range Wireless card?

    You're better off getting a PCMCIA card with an external antenna jack and hooking up an external antenna, such as an Orinoco style card. All wireless devices are regulated in the amount of power they can output, (want to say around 200mW for 802.11) and once you reach this limit, there's not...

    Need help with some network stuff in Linux...

    The Ximian Connector is an app that lets Evolution communicate with an Exchange server. It used to be a commercial product but is now bundled with Evolution. To allow the linux box to authenticate with an Active Directory controller, you'll need to configure Samba and Winbind. Do a google...

    VPNs.... need info...

    XP Pro has a built-in VPN server. Just do a google search, there are tons of articles giving step by step instructions for enabling it. You may also have to open ports on your router.

    Looking For A Hardware Ethernet Bandwidth Display

    I picked up one of these at a flea market. It's the only one I've seen with a huge LCD panel that displays a bar graph of bandwidth, collisions, packets per port. The picture below doesn't do it justice, but it's the best I could find. It's a rather old switch, and only does 10 Mbit, so you...

    Sharing files between computers?

    Why do you need two separate networks for internet vs file sharing? Why not just plug both in to the router's built-in switch and share files over their existing connection?

    Tell me about Vonage

    First, how much extra charges do they put in when you first get it? I think the router is free but are there any other charges for adapters or anything? I think the activation fee is around $25, but the first month was included in this. You can either purchase a router or with built in ata...

    gratefulgary, You can setup a wireless to ethernet bridge several different ways. They can be purchased as stand alone devices (such as this), or you can do exactly as you described and use a PC with both a wireless card and an ethernet card to bridge the connections. In Windows, go into...

    Wireless fax with VOIP?

    I believe the setup you're asking about is the following. Wireless Router )))))(((((( Wireless Bridge <-------> ATA VOIP adapter <-----> fax The wireless bridge would convert the wireless signal into wired ethernet, enabling the ATA adapter to access the VOIP server, and provide a analog...

    Double speed with Multiple ISP Connections

    Actually, splitting up which packet goes were will mess up a TCP connection, as the source address will be different depending on which connection you're using. So beyond keeping TCP streams together, if you're using linux routing you can divide up the traffic however you want (round robin...

    # of Wireless nodes - ?

    802.11 channels are like unswitched ethernet segments: multiple carriers, only one of them can talk at once, and if two try to talk at the same time, you get collisions. Even worse than plain ethernet, there are position-related problems such as the hidden node problem, where multiple clients...
