Home / I-Opener Areas / I-Opener Technical Stuff Setting up a home network

Setting up a home network (modified 0 times) Ragnar1 Profile Gang, What's everyone favorite way to set up a home network? I have one desktop and two iopeners that I would like to set up in a network, with the main purpose being internet sharing. My criteria would be cheap, fast, and ease of instalation. Any ideas? 02-23-2002 22:28:31

RE:Setting up a home network (modified 0 times) redwood Profile I used WinGate for ver 1 thru 4 .. but, I finally switched to Sygate, its just Simple, and it Works.. I Don't like msft ics ... just seems like they took _another program, and, dummyed it down to a barely working program, :) 02-24-2002 12:42:19

RE:Setting up a home network (modified 0 times) scaife Profile I use a 5-port Linksys 10/100 switching hub, with all the computers connected to it, and a cheap-o linux box with 2 NICs also connected. Obviously if you don't have broadband, you won't need the 2nd NIC. But you can setup PPP to auto-dial and run as a router. Any machine will do, including an i-Opener! :) 02-24-2002 21:01:57

RE:Setting up a home network (modified 0 times) LndRover2000 Profile I have a mostly windows network. I use a LinkSys 4 port router. My cable modem plugs into the WAN port and the PCs plug into the 4 local ports (with hub/switches it can support 254 clients). This system works quite well. The router even has DHCP built in (though Im not using it). I think they are around $70 at www.buy.com. 02-25-2002 07:43:33
