I think you missed the part of my PM explaining the basics of how SMTP and DNS work with one another thus requiring a total rebuild of how servers talk to each other. Unless you were to forward to a single SMTP smart host that then delivers from there, but again you run into the same issue of a...
Let me tell you the story of a 17 year old kid, working by day as a systems administrator for a local web hosting company, and deciding that he has $8,000 saved up, why not build a gaming hosting company to make extra money?
In my parents basement I brought in twin dedicated 20amp lines on...
Not going to post the PM or my response, but all I have to say is that it is one of those ideas that sounds good on paper, but will end up A) requiring a complete rework of how certain internet systems connect to each other (which will require a predictable "random" pattern, thus opening up...
There are, but an ASUS RT-N12 or RT-N16 will be cheaper then just about any dedicated wireless bridge. I also don't know of any stock firmwares that allow for the wireless to be set to bridge mode.
I am probably somewhere between 13 and 14. Trying to consolidate into an absolutely minimal network that suites all my needs and has at most two servers cus as it turns out, power isn't cheap.
If all you want is one network with one SSID you just want multiple APs then all you need to do is change the linksys's AP to exactly the same settings as the ISP's AP (same SSID, same protection, everything except channel, pick probably 1 or 11). After you have done that turn off the firewall...
Call the ISP, have them put your modem/gateway into bridge mode. Use the Linksys as your normal router / AP.
If you want two SSIDs install DD-WRT and create two VAPs, however if you are dumping all the clients into the same VLAN anyway why bother?
If you want two separate networks but you want...
True that. The $80 I spent on mine + bits and everything else was well worth what it has returned to me.
As far as doing it without power tools, I one time did it by hammering a large nail through the mobo tray to get a couple starter holes, and then using tin snips to cut the rest of the...
