Whats in your Home Lab?

[Ollie46]

Just curious about what all you Network geeks have in your home labs. Mine is very small. 2 Win9x boxes, 1 Win2k box, Linux webserver/NAT server hooked to cable modem, 8 port 10/100 hub(yes it's hub, too cheap for anything else right now), HP Laserjet 4L, Kapok Notebook computer. Well thats it, not much for learning but it helped me so far.

Here is the Network now. I have updated the Viso drawing as you can see things have really changed in the last year or so.

Well, Mntsnow, mine does not compare to yours - however here it is-

784/784 sdsl
copper rocket modem - into -
linksys befsr1 cable/dsl router - into
linksys 4 port hub - into
system 1 - Home built AMD K7 600
system 2 - aging PB - w/ spectra K62 400
system 3 - Gateway P2 450 (originally a Celery 366 - MB died while under warranty, sent it back.. came back with the p2 in it)

2 printers - Xerox Docuprint M760 and an aging Lexmark 1100.

Mine aint like that either. Homebuilt Tbird @
700 meg, amd k63 at 450, amd k62 @ 300 and
a old 486 dell, using a 50meg hardrive pint
120 (using linux smoothwall software) as
just the internet connection/firewall/dhcp
router inhouse. Hope this made sense. It
all works and allows connection to internet
with all machines at same time with only
one modem. Did use direcpc, but got concerned
about security, so went to firwall. Oh
just noticed, all that stuff above is
connected with a lynksys 5 port router

I'm currently in the planning stages for a minor upgrade... ie: a new Athlon system and a 100MBps hub or switch.

Mntsnow, that's some fancy-schmancy setup you've got goin' there

My Humble Network:

WinME &lt;----crossover cable/SyGate/DSL----&gt;W2K

lol, don't think there's anything much simpler than that.

[Mntsnow]

ROFL Socalgal. It can be fun playing with all the systems and it sure made it easier to work on my certifications. And what is even more fun now is I will get to use Visio almost on a daily basis with my new job.

Mntsnow - you might need to look into a Halon system.

Mntsnow:
Nice fancy drawing you have there

My dad hired a lady that could do visio drawings ... She was smart but she just didn't know where to get the right jobs..C+, Oracle, VB, just to name couple things she could do
(Ask my dad about the rest of her computer skills)
