Um so is this just a router or something?

 

Nah, it's a complete server package. It's primary purpose is for you to slap on it an ancient machine (Pentium 90 or higher h:) and use it for firewall, routing, dns, etc.

But assuming your machine is from say, the bronze age instead of the stone age, it's also a web server, ftp server, Samba server, mail server, etc.

Neat thing about it is that it's all web administered via secure http. Keyboard, monitor, mouse, CD ROM, floppy... totally unneccessary unless it takes a shit on you.

Want a command line? That's in the web management too, scripted.

 

So um basically you would only need this if you were tryin to run some uber home network right?

 

I'm using it because I have an old computer kicking around and so it's saving me from spending $90 on a router. :dunno:

Doesn't have to be an "uber" home network, if you wanted to run your own FTP server to do fileshares, this is probably the easiest secure way to do it. Running an FTP server on your primary computer is a horrible idea from a security standpoint.


Also, www.clarkconnect.com provides free DNS services so if you had registered your own domain name you could point it at your clarkconnect box for free. Even has dynamic DNS in case you don't have a static IP at home.

alright u computer doods. how can i make it so i can send people shit through AIM. i can send stuff to some people and some i cant.

 

Probably because they're behind a firewall. Might be campus firewall, might be personal.

 

Clarkconnect! :thumbup:

I'm using it right now for DNS, FTP, Mail and a rarely used internal webserver... and for SSH.

As for the AIM question, upgrade. Make sure you both are using the latest release versions. They have the ability to use AOL's servers to "proxy" the file so you can send it to people who are behind a firewall.
