Hello All ...
I'm just wondering about the validity and workability of the following setup
...
4 computers, all with TCP/IP 3.0 installed and ethernet cards ...
Computer 1 as a file/print server
Computer 2 has a T1/ISDN/dedicated dialup (whichever I can afford) to an ISP
Computer 3 has dialup modems for my BBS
Computer 4 is a "work" machine
Computers are connected via TCP/IP through the ethernet cards probably like
this:
Computer 4 -------- Computer 1 --------- Computer 3 ---- outside lines -
|
|
Computer 2
|
|
Internet
What I'm wondering is, with that type of setup, can Computer 4 send/receive
e-mail, ftp from ftp sites, and surf the WWW?
Would it be better to just install IBM Peer/2, with TCP/IP on just Computer
Would it be better to have Computer 2 as the file/print server, and have
Computer 4 and Computer 3 connect to Computer 2?
Just trying to get some idea of how I'd go about setting this up if I ever
decided to. ;)
Thanks in advance.
