These are all free options that I'm describing: You could install VMWare Server on a Linux Box (I prefer Ubuntu), run the VMWare converter tool on your existing Asterisk System (However, I think the converter only runs on Windows installs) to create a new virtual image of your existing system, copy it to your new Ubuntu/ VMWare system, start it up. Done. (Will depend on if you can get support for any third party hardware, however, but it's doable) Then, create a new image in VMWare Server to install and run your M0n0wall firewall router. There is a tutorial out there on how to do this. I don't have the link in front of me. Viola... FYI - VMWare virtual machines run a bit slower on the same hardware if the OS was installed directly on top, however, with the backup ramifications and disaster recovery options with VMWare, it's a great trade off. i.e. - Backup your VMWare image to an external device and if your system crashes, just boot a new VMServer to your backed up VMware images. Converter: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ Just for clarification, I ran the converter tool on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The converter ran about 2 hours. I copied the image over to my VM box, and started it up. Jimmy p.s. - I need to look into Trixbox. Sounds interesting.

I'd like the machine to perform basic NAT, port forwarding and, the most important, QoS. So, is there any way to install something like m0n0 on an already installed system? Or do you know any other simple wrap to iptables, with a web gui, and the things that m0n0 offers? Thanks a lot, Ignacio. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch |
