Re: Seperate 2 network segments (on a sheo string)

I would just like to add another comment. I understand your original querry
was for a cost effective solution. Now cost effective is kinda relative to
the context of the situaion. Adding a router involves the cost of the router
and the configuration and installation time vs configuring x number of
machines today. Now is your time worth more than the cost of a router?

What about future problems? Router fails, replace with new unit and
configure vs repairing ICS machine etc.

I agree. First off, my personal experience leads me to feel that all
network infrastructure (routing, firewall, etc...) should always be
hardware based and in a corporate environment all client / daemon services
(dhcp, dns, etc...) should be software (server) based. This philosophy has
provided me with rock solid networking in the past.

Throughout the branches of this thread, I have heard various configuration
solutions for the various network clients / nodes which is intended to
provide your solution. If the network security is be achieved through the
network worstation configurations then can you really feel sure that the
users can't modify these settings? In addition, what if some user were to
bring in his personal laptop and connect it to the network, this would
bypass most of your efforts right off the bat.

Just my two cents...

The first time it breaks it will cost you more than the price of a cheap
router to fix it.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I agree a router would be the best solution but
any thoughts on the options mentioned as these would not cost anything
at all?
