Hello all. I am not a real network guy, but I have been using m0n0wall for quite some time for a small network of mine. It's rock solid on a Soekris 4501. It's been great! Today I have a new use for it where I work at school and would like to see if it can do what I am looking for (I think it can, but I don't know how) I have a SMB and AFP share which needs to be shared to a number of people. I have a computer which sits on a large university network comprised of computers all with public IP's sitting in xxx.yyy.0.0/16. I do not want people outside of this network to be able to connect to the shares but would like to keep current public services on the machine available (I have SSH and apache running which I use for off campus uses). M0n0wall would be restricting connections to the SMB and AFP services to IP's from a range of IP's (xx.xx.0.0/16) while hopefully not interfering with connections to other services. The network connection would be a 10Mb ethernet connection. Would a filtering bridge work (or be appropriate) for this. Would an old pentium 133 be able to handle a 10Mb conection or would I need something faster? How about a P3 450? Athlon 800? Any hints on how best to go about this? I think that m0n0wall should be able to do this. I just need to learn how. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! Aaron |
