A question about having, maybe, two private LANs. I've moved in with my fiancee and am setting up the house for shared net access. She has a wonderful 14-yr old daughter who is, I know, not as discriminating as I am when it comes to running things like MSN, or downloading files, etc.
She shall have her own PC and it'll be networked into my soon-to-be-running Bering 1.0-release box. My questions are: 1) what is the best way to protect my PC's from her PC? The thought that comes to mind is to have eth0=internet, eth1=privateLAN_me, eth2=privateLAN_her. Normally eth2 is used for a DMZ so I'd expect that there are some significant config things to be done to achieve eth2 as a private LAN. Having said that, I've always configged my LEAF boxes to have an eth2 as a DMZ, even though I never got around to installing any servers. Ergo I'd like to keep a DMZ interface (eth3?). Should I work towards this 4-nic setup, or can I have her and I coexist safely on the same eth1 interface? If My PC's are 192.168.0.x/24 and her PC is 192.168.1.x/24 are we separate enough? I use MS file-sharing between my PC's but don't want her PC to be able to access my PC's via MS sharing. I'll speculate that if I have NetBIOS and NetBEUI disabled on both our boxes, that any MS sharing would have to transit over TCP/IP and thus I can control it via the Bering box? Thanks for any direction that people can offer. scott ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
