Setting up a linux server to share an internet connection.
- by Skizz
I in the process of reconfiguring my network. It is currently like this:
internet - modem - wireless router - wired server/clients
|
|---- wireless clients
but I need to move the router to get a better signal for the wireless clients. So, I'm looking at this:
internet - modem - server - switch - wired clients
|
|---- wireless router - wireless clients
How do I set up the server to enable this? Also, what set ups do the clients need.
The server is Ubuntu 9.04 and the clients are a mix of Windows XP / 7, Ubuntu and printers.
I believe this new set up will allow me to control access to the internet, which would be useful.
