Network Structure
This is the network structure of my home network. Note that this has no value to anyone except me really, but perhaps it will give you some hints on what you may do etcetera. Mainly, this only describes the network and different routes for each host for now. I may add more stuff in the future.

A reminder, none of this is any "cool" hardware really. The newest machine is a 750 MHz AMD Duron, and the oldest one is the Wififw, which is an Intel Pentium 120 MHz. I got 8 other boxes in a storage though, which are a little bit more fun, hardware wise.

Main network
This is the main network. Kind of like the "backbone" of my home network. In the middle of it, there is a 8-port 10mbps Intel hub. It's a sad history, but it works for me, and provides more than enough speed most of the time. Also, as of late, this hub was crosslinked to a D-Link 4-port 10mpbs hub, which hooks up with "Firewall1" as well as "Davids". The reason for this second hub was simply to save on wiring (I hate having 3 x 30 feet cat5 going through the. apartment).

The Intel hub:

This is a laboratory network, consisting of some really screwy configurations. Most of my iptables and routing questions gets resolved on this testbench. This was all donated to my by Ericsson Radio Access, or ERA. Thanks to the wonderful fellows at Ericsson in other words.

Wifi-net
This is the Wireless network that I own and run. I am currently using this to learn more about Wireless stuff, such as 802.11b. I have actually also gotten the Wififw and laptop1 to talk via ir-lan as well, but that was mostly to check if I could actually get it to run at all. Right now, I am looking more into creating some kind of "software AP" of the Wififw and what tools are out there to do it. This would save a lot of money for people not wanting to buy hardware AP's.
