Routers not just for woodworking anymore.
Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 4:59 amI need some help.
My boss at work asked me to look for something called a "gateway" and not the computer brand.
What we have at work is 7-10 computers hooked to sattilite for a internet connection. He recently rented office space to someone and is allowing them to use the internet connection. But the problem is if our main computer is shut down they no longer have access to the net. I told him it was unwise to allow them to hook directly through the computer that contains all asspects of our business! but he won't listen to me so he asked a professional about this and the pro said he needs a gateway so we can shut down our computers so that the other office can still have internet access. Problems is this
"pro" never told him what a "gateway" is or where to get one, not to professional in my opinion.
I went over to Newegg and found a list of "gateways" problem is I haven't a clue as too what I need too get???
Basically the problem needing solved is:
To allow the "renters" access to our sattilite internet connection without having to leave our computers turned on at night.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, and by the way it isn't my money so cost isn't a factor, hell I'll even ship one of you over from the otherside of the pond to hook it up
(kidding on that shipping over part, not on the cost 
)
