<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, well progress back here at NodeHPL, and my
surronding area, leads me to the next question about working with
MelbWireless.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IP Tables.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I've had a /16 (i think) given to me, I know
NodeIPK near me also has an IP allocation, but how do we setup our IP's locally,
and then intern, link to each other and the rest of the group, while maintaining
our independant broadband services (like I have aDSL with Internode), and our
own private network.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>currently my knowledge extends to and is also
limited to :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All IP's in my personnal network are 192.168.0.x
with 192.168.0.1 as my aDSL Modem/Router (which does dhcp .30 to
.250)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now where I have set a static ip, I set the IP
192.168.0.x (where the x is between .2 and .29) subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
gateway of 192.168.0.1 and DNS Servers 192.231.203.3 / 192.231.203.132 (as per
Internode).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Otherwise my whole Network is limited to this
knowledge.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Seperately (while I was connected) my link to IPK
was using (initially) his DHCP (192.168.2.x) later, setup with a static IP,
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.2.251 (from
memory)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now the Laptop I used to connect to that link, did
not (at the time) have a link to my regular network or my aDSL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Assitionally I have a linux box I setup (SME if you
know the distro, which is an idiots install, and about all I'm capable of),
which currently resides at .10 of my private network, and has the appropiate
ports forwarded from my aDSL c/o my Router.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I setup my network, to give unlimited
access to anyone within my private network to :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>each other,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my aDSL,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Melbourne Wireless.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Without allowing :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Melbourne wireless to use my aDSL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Melbourne wireless to see my private network
(beyond my SME server)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my aDSL to see my private network (beyond my SME
server)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my aDSL to see Melbourne wireless</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While setting up a DCHP for 'passers by' to link to
melbourne wireless, which does not broadcast DHCP to anyone beyond that specific
AP/Antenna.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While keeping a seperate DHCP for my private
network. (and for that network only).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anything else you can think of... I think you all
get my drift.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically if someone parks out the front of my
house (so to speak) they can access melbourne wireless and my SME Server, (and
any additional servers I might setup).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone links to my private network, they can
access everything without limitation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone in linked to the internet they can
access my SME Server only.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Considering that I'm also running a VoIP SPA-3000
box (.11 on my network) connected directly to my aDSL Modem/Router.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a side note I have an UPS powering my aDSL
Modem/Router, SME Server and SPA-3000, as these are consider essential (to me
anyhow).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a second UPS which currently runs everything
else, less reliable UPS, but enough to counter to occasional power flickers that
I get here sometimes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, although I know its called IP Tables, I know
nothing past that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess I need to run a router style server on a
machine or similar with firewalls and so forth, so I'm going to tell everyone
what I have now in the way of equiptment, to hopefully give you guys some ideas
about what I can do, considering my limited ability with
everything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Netgear DG814 aDSL Modem/Router (basic
Firewall, NAT, DHCP 4 port switch idea)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Linksys WRT54G 4 port Router/AP (not
currently really used)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 2 Switchs 8 port, (1 netgear, 1
cheapo).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 3 Senao 100mw (b) AP's (1 in use for link to
IPK)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have Sipura SPA-3000 (which needs to be linked
directly to aDSL).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a spare p2-333 machine, with as many NIC's
and 1 PCMCIA cradle (and Veritech/Senao 200mw card)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have my SME Server</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have my main machine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have my laptop (test machine, portable
etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm happy to buy more gear, but hopefully can make
something out of what I have so far...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My guess is to install some variant of
unix/linux/BSD onto the p2-333 machine to act as a universal
router/firewall/gateway service, but which distro ? and how to install it
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I probably also need to have a much better
understanding of IPTables, because (as shown above) I got no idea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All suggestions help accepted, will bribe for
direct additional assistance if required.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think someone mentioned something about some
protocol used to route nodes within MelbWireless ?!? no idea</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please consider that beyond the knowledge explained
above, I have no idea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Probably others would be in the same position, so
be nice too...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm hoping to be able to from my main machine, type
in a URL, and bring up that home page, regardless of the fact this machine runs
off a DHCP on my private network, and regardless of which URL and which network
that URL belongs to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Phil, NodeHPL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS Hope to be at this weeks meeting, from about
9:40pm</FONT></DIV>
