Folks- I am currently using Bering to protect a simple home LAN:
Internet | ADSL | Bering | Hub | | PCs (2: 1 Win & 1 Lin) I have to move my Linux machine into a room that has no easy way to get Cat 5 to it. I'm thinking about getting a couple of Linksys wireless ethernet bridges and using their point-to-point capability to connect the Linux box to the LAN and to disallow other (bad boyz) to attach. [Or so the brochure would have me believe.] My first shot at it looks like this: Internet | ADSL | Bering | Hub --- WET11 . . . WET11 --- PC(Lin) | PC (Win) Assuming this works, how can I encrypt all the traffic across that link? Is IPSec a reasonable solution here? Does the LAN-attached WET11 need to be hung off the Bering box instead of the hub? (The FreeS/WAN documentation has about two sentences that apply to this situation and it shows a gateway machine on the LAN side.) Would IPSec encrypt *all* the ethernet chatter on the link (as, I guess, WEP does) or just that associated with a particular session with another box on the LAN? -John __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
