I am trying to set up a test environment for my PFSense System... can this be done through a Ubiquiti "ToughSwitch Pro" running a port to my PFsense Box's WAN port, instead of coming straight from the Gateway/Modem? I really had a bunch of problems trying to launch it and adjust as a...

I TRULY appreciate everyone's help. :-D

@TCM: I buy toys to learn... If it costs me up to $2K to learn how to network at home, then I get to keep the equipment and keep learning, for less than the cost of a trade school. ... As far as donations, I'd recommend going to EBay, clicking the advanced search options, and then do a...

10Gbase-T, RJ45, each card has 2 ports.... (4 cards)

Very interesting and good to know.... As you can see... I'm trying very hard to utilize what I already have. With that said, I have 2 questions. 1.) What would be the disadvantages of just using CAT6a patch cables, vs worrying about switches? 2.) Could I please get a few makes & models...

Yes, for internal LAN... I don't have a bigillion dollars... If I did, I wouldn't give it to Comcast. LOL :-D The reasons that I want to build a router (if it's possible), are: 1.)I've been watching videos on custom built routers over the past week or so, and so is like to learn about port...

I got my hands on 4 Intel E520-T2 10Gbase-T NIC's... and want to build a router to support them 1.) Will the software (PFsense/Untangle/Smoovewall) have the router management and firewall built into one? 2.) Will it support the speed? 3.) Can it be built to support 10G, 1G, and a wireless...
