Hi Charles,
You helped me once before which I still appreciate greatly.
I have a reason for using the Win-95 Box as the dialup box.
I have a SupraSonic Dual Modem which I have not been able
to get to properly work with 'EQL' so am trying this
temporary solution.
I have set up a network with a Linux box before
but this time I need Win95/NT as the dialup box. With a
Linux 'Gateway/Firewall' Box between it and my family computers.
and I really want to see if I can make it work this way...
as an exercise. I know... I'm a bit nutty !!!!
I thought I would use IPchains rules to keep intruders out of
Box-2, 3, 4, 5, etc.... and I thought that it might be
better to use separate network numbering between
Box-1/Nic-1 and Box-2/Nic-1 to help accomplish that goal.
But if I don't need to I won't.
Assuming I can get the Win95 box to actually 'act like' a server
do you think the following numbering is OK ?
You once mentioned to me of the dangers of using 192.168.127.*
anything... maybe this is the time to switch to the 10.*.*.*
private IP numbers ? What do you think about this?
Charles I really want to thank you for getting back to me.
I really appreciate it.
