Q: You have 1 IP and you want to share it out over an internal, private
network, to 2 or more devices. Can you do that?
<br>A: Yes.
<br>Q: Can you do that with Linux?
<br>A: Yes.
<br>Q: Can you do that with a commercially available solution?
<br>A: Yes.
<p>From the Linux point of view, you get total control, and pass or fail
it is yours - you out to be able to do it for $200.00 or less, if you shop
carefully. You will learn a lot, and that is not to be discounted.
<p>From the commercial solution point of view, you can get a Linksys solution
that may very well do everything you need for less than $200.00 - <A HREF="http://www.linksys.com/products/group.asp?grid=5">http://www.linksys.com/products/group.asp?grid=5</A>
I wouldn't necessarily call it the be-all/end-all, but it will get you
up and running fast. Two points to remember: (a) it works with Linux,
but Linksys tech will profess to know nothing about it, and (b) it will
pretty much insist on acting as the DHCP hosts - yes, your printers can
have static IPs, but you aren't serving those out to the WEB anyway, are
you(?).

site and
<br>send e-mail to me.
