Mine is as simple as I can get it.

1 XP home machine
1 XP Pro Machine
1 Linux Machine

512/256 DSL connection going to 1.5/256 soon.

I don't fool with domains for my home network, its just a pain to deal with really.

Now I also have another two networks that I manage. One in Florida adn one in Arkansas.

Network 1: Florida
Verizion 1.5/384 Connection
1 dell 1600SC Win 2k3 Server Enterprise as PDC with SQL Server
8 XP Pro workstations joned up to the domain.
1 Cisco Pix 501 Firewall
1 Linksys 24 port switch

Network 2: Arkansas
Direcway 1.5/128 Satelite Connectrion
Cisco 831 Ethernet Router
Cisco Catalyst 2950 24 port switch
15 XP Home computers
5 Windows 98 (going XP soon)
2 Dell 1600SC Windows Server 20003 Small Business Servers acting as file servers

Thats my small little world.

By next year I'll have a second network location I'll be setting up in vegas. :P maybe I can tell my boss I need a T3 at my house to manage the servers. lol

I have Business DSL through SBC. As far as the domain goes... Check your Terms of Service to make sure its ok to host a server. (Although many members will tell you they only slap you on the wrist)

Anyway:

Webserver: (hosts my domain and two other domains)
Dell PowerEdge 2300 with Dual p3 700's with 4 25GB 10000 Rpm SCSI drives in a RAID 5 setup.

I usually get about 1200k down and 200k up. (Even thought its only supposed to be 133k up)

So VZ would have a problem with em hosting a server on my end? I dont get it? I wasnt tlaking about a web server? i used to work for an ISP as well and we never cared if people had servers?

Some do care if you have a server running because it uses up their bandwidth. Plus, they want to snag you into a business account. (My old provider got me and threatened to cut off my internet access)

Edit: Wouldnt this be a good addition to our new forum. (General Computer Discussions)

- Netfilter Fw (changing to smoothwall this weekend) Pentium 233 MMX

Internal Network (8 port ethernet switch)

Linux/Apache running a crap site (mine!) - netfilter enable, just allowing in http requests

2 Windows XP Pro machines, running
- NIS pro including Nortong A/V and Webroot <---- professional/gaming PC
- NIS pro, mcafee A/V and Lavasoft <---- p2p "server", my son gaming machine
(ive done this after getting a virus with each A/V above - so now i have diferent A/V to be sure)

No Outlook, no messenger

Edit:
my dns server is external, since here (Brazil) i need 2 dns servers to register a domain. so i bought a dns service on USA. (www.ipupdater.com).

[Shrekkie]

ADSL 3.3Mb/192Kb - Linksys WRT54G Router

Behind that :

1. Gentoo box ( main box with apache, mysql the whole schlabang )
2. Debian box/Win2k server ( with test mail server and tryout stuff )
3. Slackware box ( Serving as backup mail/Chatserver for my main server which is at another location )
4. Gentoo/WinXP laptop

my dns server is external, since here (Brazil) i need 2 dns servers to register a domain. so i bought a dns service on USA. (www.ipupdater.com).

Why did you pay for it ? There is a place (for free) for domainhosting, and also for backup dns hosting, which you need. very customable --> freedns.afraid.org
I have both my domains there. Check it out.

[cacosapo]

because i want do host my domain, lets say cacosapo.com not a subdomain.... Also i cant host my DNS server on on dynamic IP (my dsl connection)

I choose that because its cheap, accept DDNS and e-mail redirection. So i dont bother about a "internet connect mail-server". i just relay thru that. Check it. its good


edit:
ops. i just checked that free service and they host domains too. my bad..
