Actually, skip having your own router too.Agreed, we ran default static routes for a long time. Y'all don't even need a router. I might recommend a LinkSys 2-port ethernet switch, though. (Control collision domains, See DataComm Warehouse.).Hm. My main goal is to be able to block stuff from entering my LAN that I don't want there. With a Cisco or Livingston box or something similar, it's just a question of installing filters. I could set up a box and use ipfwadm, perhaps that would be the best thing to do?
That would be the cheap thing to do. But, from personal experience, ipfwadm is a PITA! Granted, you only have to do the setup once, thank God. If you have the budget, buy a firewall-router/switch. But, they're decidedly not cheap. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
