191144 2003-11-13 04:22:00 the router has a fire wall built in, but it does not have packet inspection, but it still is a very good fire wall. ilikelinux (1418)
191145 2003-11-13 04:40:00 ....i also heard that having squid running and configured properly can speed things up a bit [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191146 2003-11-13 05:09:00 what????

191147 2003-11-13 05:29:00 Correct you if you're wrong about what? *Hint, Try quoting original message*

From here, if you've not changed it at all, your eth0 should now be 192.168.0.2 and your eth1 is 192.168.1.1
Plug in the cable that goes to your network switch into eth1 and the one to the router into eth0. Make sure your IP address of your router is 192.168.0.1 and you should be sweet :-)

And yes, Squid will speed things up for you by caching it... But leave that for another thread another day, we'll take it one step at a time here... :-)

And yes, if there were no error messages then you've run it correctly.

run (as root):
ifconfig
to see what your current settings are if you wish to confirm :-)

Hope this helps


Chill.

191149 2003-11-13 05:41:00 Yup, coz its caching websites locally!

It made a huge difference for me on dial-up.

Google had fully loaded on the Family's XP w/IE 6 SP1 before the actual browser had when it was using my proxy.

If not, it took a good 4-5 seconds on what was a slow and always over-used connection :-)

191150 2003-11-13 08:06:00 i have a router with a built in 4 port switch....is that going to make things difficult? [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191151 2003-11-13 09:58:00 could make things interesting if they're all connected to the router directly... is that how it is? Chilling_Silently (228)
191152 2003-11-13 10:05:00 yep [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191153 2003-11-13 11:13:00 Bugger... :p Chilling_Silently (228)
