Hello everybody. I'm wondering here if is it possible to setup a CentOS machine as a router for two Internet connections in a LAN. This _router_ would work as the gateway for the workstations using DHCPD. The purpose of this is to optimize the broadband "joining" both connections, and given the case, do not lose the Internet access. ?is this possible? ?too much complicated?

Greetings, I'm rebuilding a machine to function as a gateway/router to Verizon DSL. It has two NICs eth0 and eth1 (static set to 192.168.1.1). eth0 connects to the DSL modem. I've setup Verizon DSL usine pppoe-setup, and it works. I can connect from home machines to the server (192.168.1.1); while logged in to the server, I can connect to both the internet, and the home machines.

IMHO, keeping the firewall function completely separate simplifies security. that router board can handle 300 Mbit/sec of

Hello all, I'm looking into getting HP laptops for our department running CentOS 7. Last time I checked this was some five or so years ago, and when I look at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops, nothing much seems to have happened since. At that time, I had to give up CentOS on laptops, as both Wi-Fi and graphics wasn't too well supported with CentOS 5 and 6. Is the situation better

Oh, well, there's no coulmns I can find to show various speed, trackers used, remaining time, ot able to sort on name, speed etc. Basically it's the gui I don't like. It's fine otherwise and does its job excellent. -- /Sorin ________________________________________ From: centos-bounces at centos.org [centos-bounces at centos.org] on behalf of Jeff Allison [jeff.allison at
