RE: Home Network
Look at the Draytek 2200w at www.seg.co.uk <http://www.seg.co.uk> about
220GBP does wireless, 4-port 100MBps switch, firewall, NAT, port
forwarding
and DMZ, which should cover most eventualities. Also can handle dynamic
IP
addresses. Seg run a good support discussion group and do frequent SW
upgrades based on what people ask for.

Subject: [ukha_d] Home Network
A mate of mine has NTL broadband, which he loves.
This goes into a single PC (of PII spec), running Windows ME.
He also has a couple of laptops (his and hers from work) and an iPaq.
The question is "how does he share that internet connection?"
As I see it, there are two parts to the problem:
1: Turning on some "connection sharing" software.
2: Installing some network components
The connection sharing would be easy, if this were a modem. However, I
don't
know what the NTL Broadband thingy looks like to windows. As far as my
mate's concerned, it's just a bit of install software that he ran. (He's
too
far away for me to pop over and look.)
I guess the options are:
1a: Run ICS (if it works with NTL Broadband - does anyone know?)
1b: Run some other gateway sofrware
The "installing some network components" gives two options:
2a: A PCI 802.11b connection for the PC, three 802.11b PCMCIA cards for
the
lappies and the iPaq (and a jacket for the iPaq)
2b: A wired ethernet card for the PC, a cross-over cable, and a
WAP11...
then the mobile things...
Comments? Suggestions?
Regards,
Mark
