Wooo.
feck off big satellite dish in the garden now.

BT Satellite Broadband 500/1, a two way satellite system (Gilsat 360 satellite "modem" connected via ethernet to a NIC in Larry (a Win 2K pro PC), 2nd NIC is to the house LAN)

Now to figure out how to get the new PC (called Larry, see, it's a sacrifical lamb / goat :) to do NATting from the house LAN NIC to the satellite "modem" NIC.
Tried Windows ICS and that was a pile of doggy doos (FFS, changing the LAN NIC IP address to 192.168.0.1, I never told it to do dat!).

Suppose I could just change [livejournal.com profile] mindygoths Smoothwall router PC, take the ISDN card out & whack a NIC on it for RED, tell it to be 192.168.0.2 and then connect that to the LAN NIC in LARRY.

the 500/1 was expensive enough, [livejournal.com profile] mindygoths work wouldn't have got her the 500/4 option that has a NAT router built into the satellite "modem" thing, hence the messing about :)

A long long long long long time ago I used Wingate... ISTR it being quite good... but this was a LONG time ago!

I'd just get a NAT router anyway - they're not expensive, they're trivial to set up, and then you can forget about them.

So, how much did it all cost?
