Hi all, With my limited networking knowhow i'm surprised to find out the clients in our home LAN can surf the internet even with the server pc off. I mean just the dsl modem and the hub where the clients connections are distributed. May hardware problem daw ang server pc tapos ang replacement pc kong hinahanda hinde pa tapos. My day job is limiting me to finish the task. Ang problema napakabagal ng connection its almost crawling to a halt in my vector linux box! There are about 4-5 client boxes connected to the hub. Im not really sure of our dsl speed but im guessing here maybe 64kb or 128 (i know its not really speedy). Ang tanong ko:
1. Ma improve kaya ang LAN speed kung maibalik ang server pc? Okey lang ba kahit walang server? I think NOT: we're playing with fire here. Our only consolation is we're behind a proxy server. But i dont know if thats good enough a protection. 2. Definitely i will push to put a linux box in the server room. Ang problema dun sa nasirang pc nilagay ng dsl technician (hard coded) ang dsl settings and the box is winblows. Im not really worried with that though. I know you guys can help me :-) The dsl modem is Speedtouch 510 Thomson. I know its ip address and i can telnet to it with username/password giving me menu of various configurations. This can help for sure in configuring the replacement linux box. 3. Im looking for a gui program (or console) that can show each client's internet connection and maybe bandwidth use. Meron bang ganito? Ang simple lang :-) 4. Also bandwidth or load balancer (server side). I mean para hinde naman lugi ang ibang pc. May isang client mahilig magdownload lagi mp3's and videos and its a hog in the network. Oh i hate the owner! Help din dito please. Ang haba ng litanya ko ah. Appreciate your patience with me :-) -- Regards, erimendz _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
