- Is this LinkSys router connection possible?
- Posted by Kevin Yeung on November 19th, 2004
Hi
I have a LinkSys Wireless-B Broadband Router with 4 ports. The user
manual suggests the following connection:
+------+
| CM |
+------+
|
+--------------+
| Router |
+--------------+
| | |
+---+ +---+ +---+
|PC1| |PC2| |PC3|
+---+ +---+ +---+
But I want this:
+------+
| CM |
+------+
|
| +--------------+
| +---| Router |
| | +--------------+
| | | |
+---+ +---+ +---+
|PC1| |PC2| |PC3|
+---+ +---+ +---+
The reason is PC1 is a Linux box that I want to ssh into remotely. It
already has 2 working NICs configured. In fact, I can plug PC2 into
eth1 of PC1 to access the Internet.
How can I configured the router to use PC1/eth1, which has a static IP
of 192.168.0.2?
Thank you very much.
Regards
Kevin

You can do it the way you want but then your linux box will always
need to run in order for your pcs to connect. The easier way to do it
is to hook them up according to the first diagram and then designate
the linux box as teh DMZ server. RTFM

So why not just hook up as in diagram #1, and set the router to forward the ssh
port (22, iirc) to the linux machine? No muss, no fuss.

Maybe he just likes a more complicated setup and the increased latency ?
