Brief Description
2 networks will run parallel to each other and connect to interior jacks in the shed and in the main house. 1 network will be dedicated to trading with a static IP address, and will be run by a PROXY SERVER. The other network will be a dynamic IP run by a DSL MODEM / ROUTER.
The proxy Server will manage the trading network, and act as a network server. It will control all ingoing and outgoing traffic on the trading net, and act as a Network Server (NIS, File System).
The Web Server will have FTP, SMTP, WWW, streaming audio and video, and remote access control. This will be a part of Phase 3 and not setup initially.
