Show your home network map!

Post by Glocksman »

Using Vista's network map feature and a little creative editing (Vista can't place my XP desktop or my print server on the map), I put together a true map of my home network.

Image

Networking hardware:

Wireless Router: Linksys WRT54GL
Gigabit Switch: Netgear GS605 v2
Print Server: Trendnet TE100-P2U1P
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

I've just got 6 computers connected to one router. Two of them wired, the rest wireless.

The AP and router are the same physical device: I just segregated the wireless and wireline components. The switch is an eight-port Netgear GigE consumer model; the printer is hooked up to an unseen HP print server. The box represents the optical network terminal (ONT). The brown computer represents the file server.

2 desktops (wired) and a laptop (wireless) connected to a Siemens SE555 router/dsl modem (yeah, ISP issued crap, but works well enough for me not to bother paying for a replacement).

Sometime in the next two weeks, as soon as I can find a day off to do it (have to copy the data off of it and move it from its current position at my work desk to a prepared position in the closet), I plan on turning one of the desktops into a file/print server running Windows Home Server RC.

An ISP-issued Alcatel SpeedTouch DSL modem and a Linksys WRT54GS router, with an iMac 17' and an Apple TV connect on Ethernet ports (they're quite close to the router), and an iBook G4 and a Dell C521 on wireless.

Dotted lines are wireless

Hostnames where applicable are in parentheses, the ones that have them run Linux and have hostnames for administration via SSH. Orion and Ursamajor use static DHCP for port forwarding.

All the Linux machines run Ubuntu, though I'll probably switch Orion back to straight Debian when I have time + isolate daemons w/ virtual servers or SELinux, or perhaps Solaris. Forgot to list IMAP server as one of it's functions - it basically polls my Gmail and sucks it down and serves it again over IMAP, since I hate using webmail. The WRT54G is a v4.

Funky, vista can't seem to map my network. Guess my router doesn't support whatever protcol it uses. 3 laptops, 4 desktops, 1 Tivo, and occasionally 1 Xbox360.

While I lack both Vista and artistic skill, I managed to draw what I believe to be a supremely accurate depiction of my network:

The midgit is there as an expression of my devout Pastafarian faith. I know it's not the most popular thing to say on this board, but my faith is important to me. You're not going to win any converts by being aggressively skeptical; why don't you try showing some respect for other people's beliefs? :x

Obviously the faster one is for gaming whilst the slower one is for that "internet porn"

I used OpenOffice draw, and simply stole icons from the KDE built-in icon directory and a couple of quick web searches. It has built-in connectors.

The crappy old one is for browsing the Internet. The fast one is for playing games.

My PC connects to the Internet through a TV Cable modem, while sharing it's connection for my laptop (wire connection from a second network card). Not too much of a network I dare say, but it works.
