At the moment, Im doing my own MCSE's, CompTIA certifications, etc.
Whilst setting up different networks, I am having to use Windows 2003 and Routing and Remote Access Server to connect different lans together. i.e 10.10.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Working very well. No problems with the setup, except I want more Lans without the extra resources of Windows 2003 virtual servers! Yeah, Im running VMWares Workstation.
So, how do I go about using Linux as a router. As I have heard this is possible to do. I have also heard that DSL Linux is very good, as its supposed to run from a keyring. Is this right? I'd love to have several routers on my virtual lan but using so little resources as my network is being run from 1 Pentium 4 805 Dual Core box.
If anyone has resources on doing this or can point me in the right direction. I would be really grateful.
edit : Maybe VMWare has extra software for doing router emulation or emulating VLANs.. if so, would love to hear about that as well
