[linux-help] Re: Home Networking

[John Alexander <john.alexander@xxxxxxxx>]

Uh... That's a loaded question. What kind of connection do you have to the
'Net? If it's a cable modem, then you are allowed 3 ip addresses by
Multimedia. If you are using dial-up, then it would depend on which box you
are using to do the dial-up, as the Windows TCP/IP stack doesn't handle
having multiple addresses very well. The Linux stack, however, readily lends
itself to having multiple ip addresses per network card.
Send replies back to this list, then we'll have the info we need to help you
out.
