[GLLUG] DHCP

[Jeff Lawton]

Ipcop.com does firewall routing dhcp (easy to set up and manage) works great
on old hardware.

You can hace a entire class a subnet on the inside if you want. Some thing
like 16 million users.

Once you have the router firewall set up the isp will not be able to see the
inside unless you open a service and then only what you open.

Subject: [GLLUG] DHCP

We are moving to a rural area outside Lansing.

If we get satellite access with EarthLink/DirectPC,
they do not offer two IP addresses.  When we met last
week, someone suggested buying an old PC and using it
for a router.  The IP from EarthLink would be a DHCP
address.  Can the PC/Router be used to give us two IP
addresses on our internal network when the internet
connection is DHCP?  Also, they do not "recommend" non
Windows PC's using the satellite for internet
communications.  Anyone see any issues with using a
linux box?

We want to set up a home network with two PC's, one
windows based, one linux based.  We currently have a
hub, 2 windows PCs and are using broadband with DHCP.

Thanks for letting us bounce this off y'all!
