Hello, I am trying to make my OSX server the main hub for the internet in my house. Currently I have a linksys router doing all of the work, but I am having issues with the VPN on leopard. I want to bypass the router all together, and just have my server share its internet with my network.
Would this work:
-Internet from ISP comes in from cable modem to a switch
-Macbook Pro (Leopard Server) plugged directly into the switch
-Linksys also plugged into the switch running DHCP but statically addressed so it does not pull my ISP IP address. Gateway on the router is set to go through my server. Linksys will broadcast wireless signal to my house, while the server shares its internet connection through the switch/cable modem
Will this work? If not, would I have to share the internet from the server via the wireless card with an ADHOC network?
Thanks
