My computers and LAN

[Back to Main]

Overview

Currently my home computing system consists of six computers connected in a small LAN, named Skynet.

The LAN is switched, using a D-Link DES-1016D (16 ports, 10/100Mbit/s Dual Speed Ethernet). Regular Cat5 unshielded straight TP cabling is used. The LAN itself is connected to the 'net 24/7 using a Smoothwall Express v2.0 firewall. More about this on a separate page below. The D-Link DI-804 Internet Gateway has been retired. I plan however to use at work. Internet connections are achieved via an Motorla cable-modem. Currently the connection is capable of 2Mbps up- and approx 700kbps downstream. A Powerware 5115 (750VA) UPS protects T1000, T-Extreme and Chrome together with a 19"-monitor, from power spikes etc. The internet connection cable is also filtered through the UPS before entering the firewall. The cable modem is on the "outside" and not protected because of practical reasons (cable lenghts). Like this: Cable modem -> UPS -> Purgatorium -> switch -> LAN.

Please note that the computer info-updates will from now on be updated the same way as the About me-page, ie dated additions last on the respective page.
