oh yeah.. finally i have time to do this..

PIII 733Mhz
256MB SDRAM
40GB HDD

ClarkConnect 4.0 doing Web Proxy 30GB Max Cache running smoooooooooth and it's freaking blardy fast when u load those websites where you've visited before Port Forwarding also damn easy to do

And now.. here's a question.. how do i setup my box to sync with DynDNS.org ?

How do I get this thing to work as a wifi AP ?

Not sure abt Clarkconnect, but in ipcop thr's a menu or page dedicated for syncing dynamic ips, adding host, and bla bla bla...
just look around.

Just buy a wireless router or WAP and connect it to ur third NIC and it wud be called the BLUE network.
Or if u wan to get ur hand dirty and your card support hostap, it can be converted to Access Point.

As for me, i wud just buy a WAP or wireless router.

anyway, lately I've been playing wif these monitoring tools lately.

Question i want to ask:-

Is it possible two have two streamyx line, two modems , and two NIC of course, connect it with this software so that we have double the bandwidth for the user?

yes~ But its a different distro. Its called pfsense, it support dual-wan.

hey guys, i'm trying out the pfsense now and i got a problem here..My AM300 modem configure as bridge mode only and DHCP off. i dunno y my PPPoE cannot connect in pfsense. What is the problem here? Try modem in router mode and DHCP on, pfsense WAN use DHCP also no luck!

AM300 modem --> WAN
PC--> Switch ---> LAN

hmm....thr's shudn't a problem. works fine for me
how u print screen ur connection page. let me see what went wrong.
or did u connect to the correct NIC?
red interface is the one connected to the modem.
green is connected to you switch

My LAN show the IP 192.168.1.1 but the WAN show NONE (PPPOE). I try to connect from the WAN interface but nothing happen! Still NONE! It won't dail!! dunno which part fail. I even try switch the interface but still same.

ur pfsense works fine even using the Live CD to boot and b4 u install it to hdd?

When I try to boot the Ipcop i got kernal panic error!! haha..hai..dunno wat to do oredi

Have you tried to re-burn the ISO and try again? I faced this problem before and it's caused by poor quality of the media, burning at a slower speed usually helps

re-install your pfsense and try again, this time, unplug and re-plug your network card on a different slot, my clarkconnect also faced the same problem initially, couldn't even detect the interface! re-seating them solved that problem

finally!! i try it on another PC and is working now!! nice!! i dunno wat happen with my 1st old PIII box..it just won't work..maybe is the m/b problem..not sure

currently, running on PIII 933 with 256MB RAM and 4GB SCSI HDD. I think 4GB is enough oredi...i think i better use my 40GB hdd for storage better..hehe

does this fork 4 windows???im blur here...

Welcome to the DIY router community. anyway, hows the performance?

What do u mean?

guys.. im abit confuse.. how do u turn ur box to a router? so means how many NIC would i need on my computer which i just converted into a router? Just say if i want to connect to 3 PC to the router

modem==> p2(router) ===> pc

You'll need at least 2 NIC to convert a computer to a router.
To connect to 3 PCs, add a switch in between

modem==> p2(router) ===> switch====>pc

Performance wise..dunno ler..my still can't surf net after long overnite BT session with or w/o the traffic shaper (pfsense show around 4500 state...I'm still exploring the traffic shaper option) Dunno whether is my pc problem...after restart pc can surf net oredi. I never restart the pfsense box except i reset the state.

Do u know the traffic shaper optimum setting for 1MB line/ BT/ surf net? Pls let me know any other tips and trick if u know any I was busy painting my house, no time to really test or configure it properly. Tomorrow i should some time to visit the forum or testing the pfsense options.

If u r using/ testing pfsense..pls remember that cheap NIC is not recommended Try to get 3com 3c905 or Intel pro 100 or higher NIC. (this 2 NIC support ALTQ feature = QoS) Pls google for more info on NIC that support ALTQ in FreeBSD.

erm.. guys.. instead of using a switch.. i have a aztech 600EW.. do u think that can use a switch? at the box it says it has a 4 port 10/100 auto MDIX switch. If its possible to support.. then is it recomended? cos i want to find a alternative to my current aztech router.. after few hours of BT.. i cannot surf, need to restart the router only can surf..

Yup! u can use the wireless and the switch function if u want..just disable the router function and ur DIY router as gateway

can we integrate adsl modem with it?...
i mean is there any DIY solution for adsl modem?..

[edited]
just found.. we need to add on this device isnt it?..
http://www.traverse.com.au/productview.do?product_id=21
http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DSL-W3805

so one can throw away their adsl modem already to cut down the electricity cost..

i see, it might be due to the fact that ur RAM is not enuf. As u know, BT is godly that uses any maximum connection possible for the sake of downloading and uploading. . Dead connections arent removed, and new connection are added. Your state table gets bloated. I think u might hav to refer to this link for a short term solution. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...dpost&p=9007281

Actually kan, most NICs out thr in the market would do. and the Qos is controlled by linux.

yup, you'll need a PCI dsl modem for that.
unfortunately PCI dsl modem or internal dsl modem is not popular in M'sia, hard to find one,
i bet when u ask those noobs working lowyat shop abt a PCI dsl modem, they sure shoot u back with ignorant high tone stating that no such things, and they think u are noob. LOL back on them
