I don't think it uses a different one for the DMZ port. I think it just restricts traffic between them. Maybe someone else on the list is more familiar with the setup. I plan to get more familiar, but I haven't gotten that far with my network yet. > also the wireless AP, if it's going to be open to the world, should be > in a DMZ, a different network from your inside LAN. What if I use WEP and all the other standard security measures? Would you trust it on the internal LAN then? It's risky, I know, but I'd like to have access to my internal network with the laptop if possible. -Tim -- Tim Wilson Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Science teacher, Linux fan, Zope developer, Grad. student, Daddy mailto:wilson at visi.com | http://qwerk.org/ | public key: 0x8C0F8813 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
