If you
dont want to use the firewall/NAT features, just connect your broadband
connection to the 'home' side. Then use your favourite s/w firewall
solution to
protect your PC's.
My recommendation was based on features,
price
and the fact the SMC devices work on epods, 249.00 GBP
for
barricade + FREE pcmcia card.
Just
a
little problem with the SMC barricade broadband, if I am reading this
correctly it uses NAT, this means that certain things will not work on
the 'home' side of the router.
Among these are netmeeting, mirc
dcc send, ftp servers and webservers (I
think it also screws some
games).
As far as I can tell there is no way to either turn this off
or
use port
forwarding to circumvent it.
The thing that really
bugs
me is they are selling it as a firewall feature
and advertising it as a
plus point! If you want to do any of the above things
then you will
need
to connect the PC/PCs doing them before this device (which
means you
cannot do them over wireless).
Fine for people who want to do
nothing
much but send email and browse the web
but how many of them will be
broadband users?
