[gentoo-user] IP Masquerading hardware, crossover versus hub

[THUFIR HAWAT]

I want a setup such as at
<http://www.fs-security.com/docs/pics/complexnat.png> and am reading
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html> to that
end.  However, there are just two machines, the gateway and a
secondary.

There's also a diagram at
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ipmasq-background2.5.html>.

The gateway (?) is arrakis, the other machine is geidi_prime.  Arrakis
has a wireless connection, so geidi_prime needs to connect via arrakis
for the internet.

The two computers will probably be 20+feet apart.  Would it make more
sense to use a hub or crossover cable?


thanks,

Thufir
