My home network

My home network currently consists of four desktop machines and an occasional laptop. They are as follows.

bluescreen

Dual Celeron 520's, 512MB RAM, 30GB disk, Windows XP Pro.

This machine acts as my main workstation.

cartman

Digital Venturis, P-233MMX, 256MB RAM, 48GB disk, CD-ROM. Intel Pro100B network card, FreeBSD 4-STABLE

This is my outward-facing server. It has my publically accessible mail, web, ftp, and IRC servers. It also holds my mp3 collection.

kenny

P200, 128MB RAM, 6.4GB & 3.2GB disks, CD-ROM, Intel Pro100B network card, FreeBSD 4-STABLE.

This machine is my main file, print, news, mail, and web server containing development websites.

inbred

PII-300, 512MB RAM, 20GB disk, CD-ROM, CD-RW, Win XP.

This is sat downstairs and has my webcam attached to it. It's also connected into my AV amp so that I can listen to mp3's on a proper set of speakers.

HP Omnibook XE3.

Topology

All upstairs machines are connected via a Netgear 10/100M switch and access the outside world via a Solwise SAR-703 ADSL router and a 512K RADSL connection. There is a link from this switch downstairs to a HP Procurve 10Base-T hub which has two machines connected.

Other machines

Occasionally I also use a 3Com Palm IIIx. This mainly gets used when out of the office for diary and email. The latter achieved with the help of a Nokia 8310e GSM phone.
