<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV>Let's see if we understand the question:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>1. You have a subnetwork (like a 192.168.x.x) behind an access point that runs network address translation (NAT), say in your dorm room?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>2. You want to move the backend to a network outside your local NAT onto the main campus network (friends with root are friends indeed :-) to get better bandwidth to the internet?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The answer is most likely yes, but should you? Right now your front end and backend are talking to each other over a local network switch. When you watch TV, the stream between front-end and back-end might average 3Mb/sec (depending on transcoder settings). My guess is that your busy college network will give you really poor performance if you are competing with multiple users on the college network. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If you don't have to move the backend box to change networks, why not just plug your NAT device into the campus network? Alternatively, beg borrow or buy a PCI network interface card (they are probably $10 on newegg.com and are often found as trash in computer lab equipment rooms) and install a second card into your backend. One card is the local lan, the new card connects to the campus network. Best of both worlds.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV>On Feb 1, 2007, at 7:00 PM, David Lynam wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>Hi,</DIV> <DIV>I have setup a subnetwork inside a college network in which i currently have a backend and frontend mythbox.
