Hi guys
ok this must sound really ridiculous for you but I am stuck and I need help.
We're running a network with around 50 clients, the dns server as well as dhcp runs on windows 2003 server.
Our firewall is a hardware firewall which i believe runs linux.
Ok what's the deal then? well we need to shape the trafic and the company of our firewall does not have any plugin or patches to allow us from the firewall admin panel to set up rules for trafic shapping.
so we decided... well why not take an old pc, install linux on it to shape the trafic and we put it in between the firewall the rest of the network -- ok! i know this sounds really "amateur" and ridiculous but hey! not so much choices when you got a low budget.
So i tried, tried, and tried... I am mainly running Debian - but I am fine with switching distribution.
I tried some open source program on freshmeat.com, but none of them really satisfied me - either they did not really work or were to difficult to configure.
So I was wondering, does anyone has any idea, any suggestion. Anything would be highly welcome.
till then...keep trusting your technolust :shock:
thanks-
