Networking 201: Running your own DHCP server
Whether you run a small business network, or just your own home network, you’ve probably made use of what I call “plastic routers” - off-the-shelf devices that you plug in to share your single internet hookup between multiple computers. These convenient little boxes provide routing, basic firewalling, DHCP, and occasionally even DNS support for your network, via a handy web interface.

1 week down, 2 weeks to go.

India or Bust!
So, I’m going to India. When? Dunno - 3 or 4 weeks, maybe 5. How long? Dunno - 2 weeks? Maybe as much as 4. Why?
