| I have this situation: 1 Win NT server, 10 win 98 workstations, connected by a hub. I am getting cable Internet through a cable modem, with 6 possible dynamic IP addresses. I want to use a router between the modem and the hub. how can I configure this so I can give internet access to 6 computers? | |

| You could use a router/firewall and then your hub. Most of the DSL router/firewalls come with dhcp capabilities. If you used dhcp with "internal" ip addresses you could effectively use more than 10 workstations on your new internet service. | |

| No offence guy, but you have your MCSE, MCP and you are working on your CCNA...but you are unable to find a solution for a very standard issue....hhmmm.
Try using a Sonicwall www.sonicwall.com This is an ICSA certified firewall. There is one with a 10 user license that you can get for around 400-500 bucks. It has decent logging capabilities and you are able to apply filters etc. You can also get a VPN license for it was well. | |

| I have the same kind of setup here in the UK. I use a piece of hardware called a faralon gateway (I Think thats how it is spelt). This is an American product where you can over write the mac address of this black box (if required) so it acts like a network card. It has it's own built in DHCP server, firewall etc and is configured via HTML. The cable modem plugs into ths via an rj45 patch lead, then another patch lead goes from the gateway to a hub of some sort. If all of your clients are then enabled for dhcp, they should be able to access the internet. Any static assigned would just have to point to the faralon gatweay as a gateway !!!!
Hope this is of use
