My home network is finally starting to resemble something useful. Previously, all my computers only had one network card each, so I could only network two at a time, and things never settled into a reasonable order. Now I have two network cards in my powermac 7300, so I’m using it as a server/router. It took a couple of frustrating nights (I forgot to turn on ip forwarding the second night, did it accidentally the first. Doh!), but now I’m sharing an internet connection across all 3, and I don’t even have to become root to turn on masquerading anymore (something I should have done years ago).

Three cheers for me.

Next comes file sharing. I think I’ll try samba this time. We’ll see what happens from there.
