Sharing cable modem with one IP address

hey, did you commit the classic "forgot to log out" gaffe, described in Mr. Subliminal's post under Alias Management II?

You'd think they'd learn by now. What makes this so wasteful is that he blew a March, 2002 alias and not some 3-hour-old job. In the intelligence community, this would be the equivalent of having one of your well-placed informers exposed.
 
Quote from ArchAngel:

Note that the use of NAT in the router effectively walls off your internal LAN from outside hackers, which is nice unless you're doing anything that needs the ability to receive unsolicited inbound connections for some reason (most don't) - you won't be able to do that through this type of router.

Actually one can statically (or even dynamically) redirect incoming connections to computers in the internal network (at least with the Linksys router)
 
I noticed something in this post that cought my attention. Is it possible for cable service to be set up through a VPN? I have come across this challenge with several of my customers and was told that you need a static IP versus the dynamic which is what comes cable service. If anytone has a solution that is proven could they please inform me of the proper steps I will need to take? Thanks..

If you have a Fry's in your area, go pick up an SMC7004VWBR wireless router. http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?sec=Products&pg=Product-Details&prod=258&site=c

It will support 4 computers directly connected to it and as many wireless-connected ones as you want (in reality, it's not 4 computers it's 4 separate LANs but this may be more complex of an explanation than you're looking for).

The price is unbelievable for a 4-port wireless router with built-in firewalling (NAT, virtual servers, VPN pass through, etc) : $89.99 shelf price minus $50 rebate = $39.99. I'm very happy with mine.

v. happy w/linksys router here, had tried a netgear one but couldn't config it... after some work, got the linksys working fine, + a wireless card for the laptop, have 4 pcs running off of it..

re cable, yes good to get a commercial roadrunner acct, for static IP address..

question: seems like my networked pcs (the ones w/dynamic IP addresses via network/config, vs the primary one, with the static IP config for the router), access 'net data a bit slower, eg 20% slower, than the main pc .. any ideas on why that is?

eg I have the main pc set up with the static ip, then all the other networked ones set up w/dynamic ips (since can't do statics on all networked ones)..


thx,

ken

I have was just checking to see if it was possible. I found that there are very few areas that provide the static version.
