Another networking question... - 10/12/2004 16:01
Hi again!
I need some assistance. I know what I want and I know of a way to do it using a computer. I am wondering if there are any standalone boxes that will do the following for me.
I have access to a network that has High Speed internet access. They assign IP addresses via DHCP to anything plugged into their switch.
My Network doesn't have high speed internet access but we have a wire between us that's waiting to be plugged in. My server assigns IP addresses to the workstations via DHCP as well as a gateway (currently a dial up device). I want a box to go between the two networks that has two network interfaces in it. I have done this in the past using a windows box and WinProxy but I would prefer to stay away from that route and go with a hardware solution.
I have included a drawing hopefully showing what I am talking about.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Rene
