    VLAN routing

    Here's an outline for what you want. You may have to do some poking around on pfsense's website for configuration details, but pfsense will do everything I describe below. I'd simplify your network and use just one ALIX 2D3 pfsense router/firewall and 3 VLANs. It appears the ALIX 2D3 has 3...

    Just Confirming

    I'd leave flow control enabled on the GS108T. Flow control prevents "a fast sender from outrunning a slow receiver." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control) In your case, the fast senders are the devices on the 1 GB unmanaged switch and the slow receivers are the devices on the 100MB...

    Sonicwall TZ100W review

    SonicWall Support Options Thanks for the comments. SonicWall devices require subscriptions for warranty service, software upgrades, and support after the first 90 days. The cheapest option are Firmware and Software updates, which extend the hardware warranty. Firmware and Software...

    VPN solution suitable for insecure wifi hotspots?

    Certificates, Shares, and Full Tunnel Your concerns about the Netgear certificate are valid. You can enable your browser to accept self-signed certificates, but it does expose you to the risk of a spoofed certificate. A certificate from Verisign or Thawte can be revoked if compromised, making...

    Linksys RV042 Review: Solid Dual WAN, VPN Performer

    Rv042 rip Wish I could answer your question, but my RV042 died. It was also out of warranty, so it ended up in the scrap heap. I'd like to see Linksys provide a better warranty like Netgear's and their products with lifetime warranties.

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    Another way A way to accomplish your goal is to get a second public IP address from Verizon. You could then run the WAN Ethernet cable from the ONT into a small switch, and then feed the Actiontec WAN and FVS WAN ports from the switch. Both routers will then have public IP addresses and...

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    To IMT Man, this one is tricky. I like all your configurations, they look correct. I'm using similar configurations on a Netgear FVS336G on my LAN. I'm not using an Actiontec as the head router, but all that router has to do is have a working static route. I noticed you have a WINS...

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    To IMT Thanks for all the detail. I can see you've put quite a bit of work into this. It appears you're making progress. The surfing problem on the FVS LAN is likely due to the need for a DNS address in your FVS DHCP configuration. Put 192.168.177.1 as a DNS IP in the DHCP configuration...

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    Tracert = Traceroute Let's double check your static route. Attached is a screen shot from a Verizon Actiontec with your network paramaters. Check to see if this matches your static route configuration. When you run the tracert from a PC on the Actiontec LAN to an IP on the FVS LAN, your...

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    Static Route through Firewall - to imt It looks like your configuration is correct. A couple suggestions: 1. Run a traceroute to a destination on the FVS LAN from the Actiontec LAN, make sure it is routing the ping to the FVS WAN interface. 2. Reboot the FVS and retry, that might clear...

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    Two more: Answers to two more questions: No, but it can get complex with more than two routers as you'll need to set up multiple static routes or utilize a routing protocol. My suggestion: Call your DSL provider and ask them to "bridge" your router/modem or replace it with a simple modem...

    How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports

    Multiple Router Questions Thanks for the questions! Yes they can. You can map a windows share from one router to another. You may have to specify the IP address of the shared drive and give it a name, but it works fine. To do so, enable sharing of the drive or folder on one machine, and...

    VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN

    SRW2008 and VLANs Thank you for the questions! Vlans can get confusing if you think in Cisco terms on small network device devices. Access mode works well on ports with single non Vlan aware devices connected. General mode comes in handy on the SRW for a port that may have an...

    Network getting bigger. Need help!!!

    There might be a simple solution. It sounds like your cable modem is also a router. If that is the case, connect one of the ports on the cable modem to the Dell switch, and connect your web and mail servers to the Dell switch. Connect the WAN port on the RV016 to another port on the...
