Héberger en ADSL sur Mac

[Julien Mac]

Bonjour,

Bravo pour votre site Web extrêment complet.

Je vais faire installer l’ADSL dans ma boîte et héberger notre site Web actuellement chez un fournisseur externe.
Grâce à votre site certains sujets sont désormais beaucoup plus clairs !
Mais il me reste encore certaines questions sans réponse :

Notre environnement :
- 7 Mac en Mac OS 9.1 (G3 et G4)
- Ethernet 100
- Abonnement Wanadoo Pro (Adresse IP fixe) Netissimo 1

- Si j’ai bien compris il est impossible de partager une connexion par un Mac sans ajouter un routeur logiciel ou un routeur physique ?
- Si tel est le cas FT doit fournir avec Netissimo 2 un moyen de router : physique ou logiciel ? Rien ?
- Quels sont les avantages entre un routeur hard et un routeur soft (performance, simplicité, evolutivité, protection) ?
- Plutôt un Netopia ou un STP, ou un FriendlyNET ou encore un AR 220E ? C’est pareil pour un petit réseau ?
- Quels sont les différences entre IPNetRouteur et Internet Gateway (doc en français, menu en français, hot line, simplicité, fonctionnalité) ?
- N’est-il pas dangereux de passer le STH en STP par rapport à France Télécom, qui pourrait refuser tout support technique ?
- Un hacker peut-il rentrer sur les Mac d’un réseau dans la mesure où il n’a pas les autorisations d’accès pour accéder aux disques durs partagés ?
- Quel logiciel simple et peu onéreux remplacerait de manière intéressante Partage Web de Mac OS 9.1 ?

Merci pour votre aide, car c'est toujours difficile de quitter une solution qui marche pour une solution que l'on ne connaît pas.

On peut très bien partager avec un mac, soit avec un routeur ( n'importe quel fait l'affaire), soit avec ipnetrouteur, soit en utilisant la fonction routeur du speed touch home.

Tout est indiqué , pas à pas, dans ce site .

Bonne recherche .

Pour ce qui est du routeur, opte plutot pour une solution hard, c'est mieux adapté et c'est fait pour ça. Pour ce qui est des softs IPNetRouter ou Internet Gateway, pas de pb, la doc est en français. J'utilise Internet Gateway, une heure de paramétrage pour le serveur et les clients, mais j'avais déjà quelques idées, travaillant sur un site de plus de 3500 systèmes.
Lis les tutoriels du site, eux en tout cas sont en français.
FT ne fournit pas de solutions immédiate pour faire le routage, il faut s'en procurer une ou bidouiller son modem.

Je me réponds à moi même c'est plus simple :


Internet Gateway and IPNetRouter compared

Vicomsoft Internet Gateway and Sustainable Softworks IPNetRouter are two popular software routers available for the Macintosh. Vicomsoft recently released
version 6.5 of Internet Gateway while Sustainable Softworks released IPNetRouter version 1.4. We took them for a spin and the results were quite surprising.

In addition to offering all the functions of a typical hardware-based router, both products use NAT (Network Address Translation) to allow an entire network to
hide behind one device. This makes shared Internet access possible. Multiple users on a network can access the Internet using a single Internet Service Provider
(ISP) account and connection. NAT also enhances security by creating a firewall. A DHCP server is included with both routers, which simplifies administration by
providing network information and addresses to computers automatically.

Internet Gateway also features remote administration, WebHeaders, a TCP server locator, timed access controls, CyberNOT content filtering, a web caching
server, DNS serving and caching, and a remote access server.

Sustainable Softworks and Vicomsoft both provide very good documentation for setting up their routers. Internet Gateway includes a wizard that greatly simplifies
installation and setup for non-technical users.

Both routers can now run as faceless applications, which enables the gateway machine to be used without worrying that someone might accidentally quit the
software. However, Internet Gateway's web cache server, which is a separate application, still runs as a regular application although Vicomsoft says this will
change in a future release.

Internet Gateway's CyberNOT filtering prevents users from accessing questionable web sites and areas on the Internet. The filtering is very well integrated with
Internet Gateway and updates are provided weekly. There were some problems downloading the initial CyberNOT filters but everything went smoothly after the
server that provides the updates came back online.

The web caching server has great potential—especially given the price—but we found several problems. We worked with Vicomsoft regarding some of the issues
in version 6.0 but we were disappointed to see that some glitches are still present in 6.5. Occasionally, raw data from one computer's network session will
mysteriously appear in another computer's browser at the top of the web page. There are also some URLs that wouldn't load at all when the cache server was
turned on. We can't recommend using the web cache server because of these concerns, especially given the fact that data privacy may be compromised.

Performance for both products while the Mac was idle was excellent. When we stressed the routers, IPNetRouter greatly outperformed Internet Gateway. If the
Mac that runs the routing software is used by someone (SOHO, for example) there is no comparison. We ran MacBench 5.0 while both routers were actively
routing data. IPNetRouter continued to perform while Internet Gateway flat-out stopped. When the benchmark finished Internet Gateway continued routing. Users
surfing the menus or moving windows on the gateway machine also halt Internet Gateway. IPNetRouter's superior OT native design really shined in these tests.

Support from both companies was excellent. Sustainable Softworks answered our questions and provided us with good documentation. The feedback that we gave
to Vicomsoft resulted in bug fixes that made it into Internet Gateway 6.5.

Our Advice

If you're looking for an industrial-strength router IPNetRouter is the clear winner. IPNetRouter always worked as advertised and at $89 for unlimited users (with
free upgrades) it's a steal. Internet Gateway had features that weren't available in IPNetRouter and companies that need dial-up capabilities or content filtering
should look into Internet Gateway. Home users, especially those with children, will find that Vicomsoft's SurfDoubler Plus offers the basic routing features of
Internet Gateway plus CyberNOT content filtering for only $74.
