ppandemic said:dlink routers suck
Because they do suck, and there is no fun in using a home router anyways, Linux firewall distros have been getting more popular and any old PII PIII system put together makes a very powerful firewall and router solution.Cheap and efficient.Malk-a-mite said:What the purpose of having both the Dlink router and the linux firewall device?

But... your network could use some work. Seems a bit inefficient to me. I'd toss the router, use the firewall as the endpoint as others have said. (another thing, why would your "web" sever be on the inside? (assuming thats what xorserv is, running apache and all) Usually you have servers in a DMZ. Also, why 2 DNS servers? Are you slamming the hell out of the one, that you need a slave? Not to mention you could have all those services running on the one firewall. (unless its running some thing like IPCOP, but afaik will do DNS as well)
IMHO, just seems a bit overkill and inefficient.
sniggle,

WesM63 said:D'oh.. thats true i knew that. Wasn't thinking along those lines thou.
protias,
I've never heard that before. I've tracked tons of stuff on peoples networks and never had a problem with switches. Hubs are nasty devices because they are bandwidth inefficient. (amongst many other reasons)

Private Citizen said:To the OP: the network looks good for a learning lab. Get some 180 day trial versions of sql and excahnge from microsoft and start learning on those. These are the kinds of things you will see in a large majority of medium to large buisness setups. That is if you are looking for a career in the Information systems feild.
Private Citizen said:Protias is commenting on the fact that hubs are easier to use when doing things like packet sniffing and network analysis work. Its because of the way hubs are designed to work. Switches on the other hand are harder to work with in this respect. Unless you do some hacking (such as arp poisoning) to the network, packet sniffing on a switched network will not yeild the kind of results that one would get from a hub based network.
Hubs have their place in todays modern network setups. I see them in small home and office setups, DMZs, and etc.
ppandemic said:Ok i've updated my network diagram.. out goes the shitty dlink router, in with the freesco based box! ...also cleaned some stuff up
damnit >_< make a line there with your mind! >: )Malk-a-mite said:You lost your connection to p4-box1 in the bedroom.
