Installation and Upgrades / Two Gateways (One DHCP, One Static), Want to Route Torrent Traffic Through One

« on: July 16, 2008, 05:15:19 am »

I have two internet connections. One of them has a static IP address (behind another router), and the other is dynamic (connected directly to a cable modem). I want to limit torrent usage to the connection with the static IP. Is that possible?

Thank you,
Chris

Installation and Upgrades / Samba Users Can't Access Their Home Directories

« on: July 14, 2008, 05:05:39 am »

I setup a couple of users in eBox and their home directories were created. I tried accessing their home directories from other computers, authenticating as those users, but that only results in viewing the /home directory. Attempting to access the user directories results in a logon window, and no username password combination works. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Chris

Installation and Upgrades / Do I have my firewall configured correctly (safely)?

« on: July 13, 2008, 09:12:12 pm »

I had tried eBox last year, but ended up using another distro. I'm to a point where I require some of the features offered by eBox, so I installed it today. I want to be sure that I have my firewall configured correctly (safely) for basic internet access before I get into port forwarding.

Filtering rules from internal networks to eBox - Defaults

Installation and Upgrades / DNS Slow to Resolve

« on: January 21, 2008, 08:36:39 pm »

It seems that URLs take much longer to resolve since I installed eBox. This has been consistent between home and work. Has anybody else run across this?

Thank you,

Installation and Upgrades / External Hard Drive for File Sharing

« on: January 20, 2008, 10:58:06 pm »

Would it be possible for me to use an external USB drive for file shares? I have a good enough knowledge of Samba to go in and edit configuration files or create symbolic links if need-be, but could that potentially "break" eBox?

Thank you,
Chris

Installation and Upgrades / DHCP Server Not Assigning Addresses

« on: January 20, 2008, 03:48:59 am »

I installed eBox today, and am looking forward to installing it at work on Monday. I've used IPCop, BrazilFW, Endian, and others, but I think eBox is probably the perfect solution for me. I thought I remembered reading somewhere some time ago and that eBox will be switching to Ubuntu at some point. I sure hope so! I know Ubuntu is based off of Debian, but the Ubuntu team sure does a nice job cleaning up Debian.

Anyways...
I enabled the DHCP Server and have an address ranges assigned, but both of my machines aren't receiving address assignments from the server. Am I possibly missing something, or has anybody else run across this?

Thank you,
Chris
