Hello, I got an awesome deal today on a Linksys wired Etherfast Cable/DSL router and 4 port switch - $5 USD at our local Goodwill Computer Store. They get donations and then sell them (they are a non-profit corp. that helps the disabled). The model number is: BEFSR41 version 3.
What exactly can I do with this in Linux? I have 2 computers and would like to network them using this. It came with a 6 foot ethernet cable and a 12V power adapter. Any ideas and/or pointers on what to do to set this up in Linux would be great. Right now I have raw ethernet frames being sent to my laptop which is using static IP so I have nothing in the way: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 66.93.172.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 66.93.172.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 My eventual goal is to setup a DMZ network and route my public network traffic behind that but for the present I just want to get my 2 computers sharing the DSL line using this router I got. Here is my planned DMZ setup: http://www.hyperyoda.org/my-DMZ-network-diagram.png PS: The Goodwill store has a 20 port Agilent switch (still wrapped in plastic in the box) for $20. Is that also a good deal? Zach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
