| subject: | Re: Which? Router, Bridge, Switch, Hub? |
Before I got a "black box" router/switch, I used a separate computer running InJoy as a router/firewall, but my understanding from the Injoy docs. was that the computer on which Injoy is running still has little protection: only the computers "beyond" that machine are protected fully. The "black box" routers are much more efficient than my old 486/66 too, with enormously improved throughput, far lower power consumption, more compact, and don't need an extra OS/2 license. -=- Alan On 08/31/04 01:29 am Franklin put fingers to keyboard and launched the following message into cyberspace: > You could use a switch, make one computer a gateway with injoy using > it's NAT, the other computer would go through the gateway.
