IPCop as a Virtual PC gateway router part 1

This a short video about how to use a linux distro called IPCop as a gateway for your virtaul machines. I wanted to simulate a real network with a real gateway without dedicating a Gig or RAM to an ISA server. This Linux distribution runs on a 386 processor with 32 MB of Ram. The entire installation takes less than 400 MB and ten minutes. It'll run on a real machine and can be used as a web cache, DHCP, firewall...

I find it funny you're using a linux distro on a Microsoft virtualization software.

[technoblogical]

@emersonburris69 Yes, 1.) usually that doesn't work very well and 2.) What's the point of doing something simple?

Why is it that at the start of all of your videos you sound completely different, but as the video progresses you sound more and more like you?

[technoblogical]

@dsidewd It's me just trying to fight my accent. I should just learn to embrace the twang.

Oddness: what about e-bay and some P-III ?

[technoblogical]

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if you can use some old Pentium 3 you bought off Ebay for IPCop? Yes. That would be MUCH more powerful than IPCop requires.

@scania1994 VMWare does not format your HDD. If you give the VMWare machine a 20 GB HDD, then it takes 20 GB of your HDD instantly.

Yeah, great video. But it's not recommended to install IpCop on virtual machine (especially vmware). Add-ons like Traffic Control and Report Service not works properly. So take care, guys.

[herauthon]

Virtual boxen like VMware do perfect for testing moments - but for true implementation a P-3 does fine and they are cheap - and if you compare to modern systems, use less power/hour. Advantage: they can go 24/7 for long term experiment and testing.

I agree on Virtual Box
