Hi,

I'm looking for a router with two 100mbs interfaces for my home network, i.e. a low-cost one!

Architecture is something like this:

[tt]
10mbs 100mbs 100mbs 100mbs
Cable --- Exterior --- External --- Interior --- Internal
Modem Router Switch Router Switch
| |
Bastion Internal
Host Clients/Servers
[/tt]
Does anyone know of such a beast?

Thanks,

R.

Have you thought about a PC based one?

Try a search on "Freesco"

Bob,

I haven't ruled it out completely, but I'm trying to get rid of computers not install more!!

Having said that, I've got an old 486 with a couple of NICS that I previously used with a DOS-based product called IPRoute that I could either re-use or use with some sort of LRP (Linux Router Project).

I've not seen FreeSCO before and am investigating further.

Cheers,

R.

I use a Linksys router. It has wireless built-in and a 4-port switch. It's also about the cheapest you can get.

dearingkr,

Can you turn off NAT on your Linksys?

There is nothing that says it specifically turns off NAT, but it does have 2 'modes', gateway mode and router mode. I believe this does what you want it to.

I am confused as to why NAT is an issue. The purpose of your interior router appears to be to separate your internal network from the external network (DMZ, I assume).

If so, why would you want to turn off NAT?

dearingkr,

I already have NAT on the exterior router; I am trying to avoid double-natting traffic from the interior network as this can cause problems for some applications.

What is the model of your Linksys?
