Re: [Leaf-user] Comparison between LRP and the hub/router
Are you using a older version of ICQ ...such as 2000a? the included masq module in my pppoe image works just fine with the older version of ICQ, but not the new versions of ICQ.

Re: [Leaf-user] Comparison between LRP and the hub/router
Ken: Using your Eigerstein beta2 pppoe beta v.0.4 I have had no problems with ICQ. Nor did I have to do anything diiferent with the set up of ICQ to get it to work.

Thanks, Charles.I convinced a couple of friends to use LRP (usually 1-floppy) but some said they prefer a readyhub/router in home environment (3-4 computers) because:+ price: a Linksys hub/router costs around $110 Canadian dollars. If youhave to go and buy a complete LRP box (2 NICs, a hub, a computer box with 16M), it costs more than that unless you go to used-computer shop and not everyone knows howto.+ job done: the hub/router could also do NAT, IPSEC, PPPOE and DMZ.+ setup: definitely hub/router is easier than LRPI have never used the hub/router and so do not have any experience aboutthat.What are your comments? ___Leaf-user mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED]https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
Re: [Leaf-user] Comparison between LRP and the hub/router
One thing a LEAF firewall has over a SOHO firewall (Such as netgear, linksys, etc) is the ability to add packages such as DNS, web server, intrusion detection, and my personal favorite, the Socks5 proxy for the ever so troublesome but always useful, ICQ instant messenger (which ive yet to hear of anyone being able to receive files when firewalled with a SOHO unit). It really depends on what the user needs, because in really simple cases (AKA...home user with a few PC's) I usually recommend a Linksys unit. For anyone who needs anything more advanced I recommend and usually setup a LEAF firewall. -Kenneth Hadley - Original Message - From: "Binh Do" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 9:33 AM Subject: [Leaf-user] Comparison between LRP and the hub/router > I have the official release (v1.0.1) of Dachstein-CD up over the weekend and > was very very excited > about it.
