Figured out that I need to use natd, so the requests seem to be coming from the MBP. I have it all setup, the VNCServers can ping *any* address! Inside or outside my network even real world servers. They just can't use the web. EH?

OK I think I may have made some progress. I setup OS X to do internet sharing, sharing the Airport connection on the Ethernet connection. I then set the VNCServers gateway to be the MBP. That way the VNCServers can ping every address in the main network, the only problem is that the computers on...

I am running a number of computers through my MacBook Pro using VNC, I need them to somehow connect to the internet. My main network's addressing is 10.0.1.x The VNCServers addressing is 10.0.2.x The MBP connects to both networks, to the main one over Airport and to the other over...

OK so in my current setup I have my smoothwall (soon to be border control) in my office along with my VoIP adapter, the DSL modem, my computer, an xbox 360 and an 11b AP for the rest of the house desktops. Now I patched my smoothwall so it could use my 11g card and I didn't need to buy an 11g...

Thats a plan except I'll have to wait until they have them in stock and thay have none of the old photo ones left. Other wise i'll end up with the same darn product.

I cant take it back now i've used it and its got scratches on it etc. Its insured though so if it breaks then I can get the new one.

So I picked up a new colour 60Gb iPod today (I think that the 12th is about the new intel macs so no worries about buying an ipod so close to the event) but Im trying to snyc my photos across and it does its "optimizing" thing but at around 500 itunes just crashes! Whats up with that?

I think I'm missing your point, with a GigE network in the datacentre it will more than handle an OC-12 ring even when saturated no? Anyway since the ring needs to able to run the entrie networks capacity I was thinking of using an OC-48 ring so it is scaleabe for adding more PoP's and for...

I thought that GigE ran at 1000Mbps? Plus it can be aggregated. Raise a good point about the overhead I had forgotten about that. What's it dependant on, does it depend on the protocols being used?

I am not pulling anyones chains, how dare you. This project has not been 'handed over' this is purely mine and my buisness friends project. Now if you had actually read the thread in its entirety you would know that, you would also know that I have said: "Thats why I came back the forum...

Well I also hope that it doesnt turn into a financial disaster. I just want to clarify to everyone that this is still conceptual, I am researching its viability as a buisness and how I can go about it - there is potential for nothing could come out of this. But you may also be interested...

I beg to differ, whenever I undertake a project (admittadly never one of this magnitude) I dive in the deep end and find out what I need to learn and get on with it. Thats how I operate. I'll take the given cisco certifacations as suggestions. Thanks for the link, I think i've pretty much got...

So about the ring topology, how is it done physically with fibres and cards etc?

So how to I setup a ring topology? Is it as simply as running a pair of fibers to the terminator, then from that terminator, run a pair of fibres to the next one etc? So if I want complete redundancy I will need two 15454's per PoP, running two seperate rings with a backup for each so thats...

I was just reading this thread and I wanted to add that kids will find ways round things you put on to stop them if they want to. Its in their nature. I remember when I was six/seven (seriously) I socialed my way round all the AOL protections my dad had put on and then made my way on to some...

So what are the pros. cons. of using either a ring or point to point? Also 280Mbps isnt much per PoP so is there an eqivalent to link aggregation for WiFi? I.E deploying more than one AP/Radio per PoP? I am well aware of how extereme we will have to go to get 5 nines, that's why I've...

So what should my topology be like then?

No, the metro core is going to be used to move WiMAX around the city providing city wide coverage, more than one base station is going to be needed 'cos can you imagine sharing 280Mbps theoretical bandwidth with an entire city? The actual bandwidth will be less like in other WiFi senarios? It's...

What kind of maintenance does a fibre network require? I have a 10/100 network at home with 802.11b & g WiFi and it requires no maintenance besides the rebooting of my smoothwall or modem when im torrenting healivy. Would it be nessicery to employ someone to sit around and watch the equiptment...

No I wont take offence, Im not much of a networking guy I admit that, I find it difficult enough to keep my iBook connected to my various WiFi networks. Thats why I came back the forum; to learn as much as I can before we are forced to seek expert help. I do at least know you are talking about...

Thank you for your links i'll check them out. - Keith

Ok thanks for your answer. Would it be advantageous to use an ATM network since the primary function of the optics would be for carrying VoIP, however it would be used for other internet functions such as browsing, email etc? Would it not be better to use TCP/IP? Does link aggregation...

Does no one use an authentication system on their Mac here? Besides the built in OpenLDAP as I dont think that can scale to my needs. Should I repost this in another section?

Yes, im completely serious. At the moment this is still in the conceptual stages of a buisness plan but we want to know everything we can before we have to outsource for experts that'll cost money. Anyway in my case it will be costing pounds as the proposed network is going to be installed in...

I'm pretty new to the whole Mac expierence so forgive me if I make a fool of myself. I need to run a carrier class authentication system, so as far as I know RADIUS and DIAMETER servers are my options, my network infrastructure is going to be made up of Xserves for everything: the SIP Proxy...

As far a setting up an optical metropolitian network goes what do I need to know, I'm going to use it for connecting WiMAX base stations to my network infrastructure (when it gets installed). I've been doing some reading but it's not making much sense to me, I know there are different...

There is no option to turn a firewall off in the modem, in the log it says that it is on though.

I dont want to use DHCP I was hoping to use static IP's, I have the modem plugged into the smoothie RED interface and the smoothie into my router (this wont be routing - it just serves as a WAP and switch)

I need to know how to make my smoothie work with my 300T, as simple as that. Im not sue wht info to give so ask what you want.

I need a software fire wall thats is free or cheap, preferably linux. I wanted to use smoothwall but only the corprate has a QoS module and Im not paying for it. So are there any others?

I have a 3G iPod with a 5 year care plan and I was wondering that if it was to break (Its currently locking up when I fast forward a song and it just stick on accessing the hard drive until the battery runs out or I reset it) would I get a 3G iPod back and not a 4G one because I have had a shot...

Thanks alot, just to check Ive got a 350MHz processor and 64MB RAM will that be enough?

So I've just d/led the smoothwall manuals and it left me with a few questions. My setup will be: xDSL Modem --> Smoothwall --> Linksys BEFW11S4 v3 --> Wireless + Wired Network 1. Will it work with this ( HERE ) modem and can the smoothwall do the routing? 2. Can smoothwall do port...

Just to clarify because im a little confused, its better not to have the antenna parallel to each other right?

OK so i've got iPodRip to work it copies all the files off and into the iTunes database, however the titles are not the same as on the iPod, some have little squares at the end of the trank name, they dont have the correct capitalisation i.e What do You do for Money Honey comes out as What do...
