depending on the version you downloaded it ought to.

glad you found it easy to use though !

yer peice of cake, cant wait to move in to new house can start using it then along with a nice 1mb internet line (no 2mb in the area

)

hmm this clarkconnect seems pretty decent.
i'm using IPCop at the moment, all i really need to box to do is act as a router, so is any option to not install all the web/ftp etc stuff so i can just run it as a router, beacuse i'm really tempted by the bandwidth limiting.

thanks.

yer i think there is, when you install it there are some tick boxes as to which modules/programs you want to install with it. you might want the firewall bit too though.

hmm nice, better fire up the modem and get downloading!

i'll use a different HDD so i can just go back to IPCop if it sucks

thanks for the help

IPCop is quite a popular distro with me mates, very resourceful

**Jayson** · 11-09-2003, 01:00 PM

never heard of it, is there a website for it?

**lampPost** · 11-09-2003, 01:31 PM

IPCop is lovely, but no bandwidth limiting in this version though.

can u remote control it? with CC its all through a browser in which you can change ANYTHING.

**lampPost** · 11-09-2003, 01:45 PM

yeah, it's controlled though the browser. also there's SSH access to it

**Jayson** · 11-09-2003, 01:52 PM

oh what to control it over the net, outside your network, cool but dont know why youd really need it

**lampPost** · 11-09-2003, 02:00 PM

ah right, i didn't read properly.
you can't remotely control it by default, but i suppose if you wanted to do that you could just make it bind the webserver to the external interface, and it would work that way

**Jayson** · 11-09-2003, 02:03 PM

so can you control it over a lan in a browser then?

**lampPost** · 11-09-2003, 02:03 PM

yup

**Jayson** · 11-09-2003, 02:05 PM

ah i get ya now!

**lampPost** · 11-09-2003, 02:12 PM

only thing is you'd need to make some changes your self if you wanted to run a webserver etc off of it for your own sort of pages, because you wouldn't want to run it off the same server as the control thingy i'd think.

but i just use it as a router so i can have my whole family eating aaway at my 56K at once

if you've ever used smoothwall it's pretty much identiacal to that, well worth checking out, only a 30MB ISO or something
