Need to share ADSL with extra PC that can't see existing network.

Drizzt would be right...however, those NICs would be bridged...
Not good for security.

What you need my Friend, is SmoothWall. Put the computer that you don't want on your private LAN on the Orange NIC and go to town.

I posted a fairly complete article on setting up SmoothWall over at 3dgameman.com, but could easily post it here if someone wanted it. I also have it available in .pdf format.

Smoothwall I believe is an option that Tony is looking at.

I think by now that I have established that Smoothwall (or simm.)is the only affordable h/w solution.

Thanks to all concerned for the advice. MMM - yes please, a link would be nice

Cheers

MultimediaMan, I don't think the the having two cards connected would be so much a danger...

I just installed smoothwall on one of my boxes - its great! - however, I cant get it to accept updates...... you know, through the web interface?

any thoughts? Please?

[MultimediaMan]

Okay...

Look on the Hardware Forum...

RedRed...if you are running less than 64MB of RAM, there is an issue with installing any updates if Snort is running. Turn off All extra features, reboot, then try to install them, rebooting each time.

OK, so Smoothwall it is. Its an old Compaq Presario, which I haven't had much time to look at yet. At least it has room for the nics and has USB for the Alcatel modem.

Go with 1.0 or the new Beta?

I dont know if the new beta is covered by the GPL?

[Wombat]

It has to be, unless it was written from scratch (or somehow, one author has done ALL the work).
