Title: RE: [ukha_d] ADSL - connecting / Distributing

Let me know how you get on - I'm just sitting on the fence at the moment myself - in fact emailed Eclipse this morning myself for details.  Interested in the splitter bit as well, as I have a similar setup as yourself.  Good luck.

Hi all

I have decided to take the plunge and get ADSL, and am going to connect with
Eclipse Internet.

Anyhow this is a "wires only" install, and not being a networking whizz kid,
I have a few questions:

1, This service has a static IP option, if I opt for this, and enable my
Homeseer web Interface, can I then access remotely over ADSL? - connecting
to the x.x.x.x:8080 (Homeseer is on port 8080)

2, I need to consider security on this connection, I have been using Zone
alarm on my Dial up, is this good enough to use on ADSL, or should I be
considering something a little more heavy duty?

3, Sharing this connection, - I have looked at the Vigor ADSL USB router,
that also includes a firewall, would there be a noticeable performance
difference, between using the Win2k network sharing and the router - I have
2/3 PCs max.

4, Currently my Phone line is shared round the house using a patch panel, -
on this basis can I get away with using 1 splitter, and then feeding the
relevant signals from this into the patch panel, thus removing the need for
lots of ADSL port splitters? - has anyone tried this?

Anything else I should be thinking about?

Thanks

Daniel
