Paul,

What do you plan to use your IPCop box for, Firewall or just Cache
etc.  I'm not
up on ADSL as I only have dialup (BT will not uprate my exchange) but if
you are
using IPCop for Firewall then would it not be better for Laptops to be
behind
the IPCop box on either a red or orange zone (IPCop speak).  You can
still VPN
and make use of Pinholes to get to needed ports.  If it is just for
cache etc
then ignore above.


Mark

I have been following this discussion with great interest as I am
about to sign on the dotted line for the Eclipse Package.

the computer setup I envisage is as follows

DSL Line -----> Vigor2600 -----> IpCop --------> WWW & Email
Server

¦-----> Laptop1 (Work VPN)
¦-----> Laptop2 (Work (VPN2)


So not being particularly up to speed on all this, how many IP
addresses do I want (or need), I am assuming the
Vigor/WWW&Email/laptop1/Laptop2 will all be assigned individual IP
addresses as supplied by eclipse.

I am looking for the simplest and most robust way to get this litle
lot up and running (I travel alot so must be robust otherwise no
SWMBO approval and no funds for more gadgets!!!)

What other gadgets am i likely to need/want an external IP Address
for??

Currently the NT server and other PC's use Static private IP
addresses (if this makes any difference??)

Does the Vigor offer enough security on its own or do I actually need
IpCop as well??

Many thanks

Paul.

P.S. Anyone got an idiots guide to setting this stuff up or a good
book recommendation?
