I have an old dual PII system which I am wanting to setup up in my dorm.
The goal is to use it for a firewall and for internet sharing.
The school network limits bandwidth to each computer based on IP/Mac address I want the network to see the server as two computers...
it is easy to set it up as a firwall, but in that configuration two computers would be sharing the badwidth of one.
The goal is that when one of us is not on the net other gets twice the bandwith, but would be scaled down and evened out when both users are on.
I currently have two 10/100 network cards in the server, a 10 base-t hub, and a 10/100 switch, plently of cable, etc.
The Computer is a PII 333x2 system running Win Pro 2000.
Any number of suggestions would help, software, hardware, etc.
I would like to use what I have if it is possible, but if there is a must have for it to work please give that info.
If you need more info please just ask.
