    connecting 2 homes

    multihoming It's not as easy as just connecting the two since each router is likely running DHCP, and also likely assigning overlapping address ranges. Having two outgoing internet connections and two routers trying to run the show makes it hard. An easier alternative is to multihome one or...

    MoCa + streaming set top box output over coax

    Sorry in advance if this is as much an A/V question as a networking one. I just recently set up a MoCa network, and it got me to thinking about the possibilities of using coax for other purposes too. Attached is a rough diagram of my network (sorry for the hokey picture). I don't use cable TV...

    double nat vs vlan

    Traditionally to separate my wireless low-security network from my high security wired one of a few linux boxen I've used two el cheapo routers in a double nat config (cable modem -> wireless router -> wired router -> desktops). This allows me to have services like samba open on the wired...
