Cheesefry and I have a nice little network set up. We have an ubuntu box that acts as our router. I also installed dnsmaq to handle internal dns and dhcp. We have many machines that connect to the Cisco 3500xl 24 port switch in my root. It has 2 giga ports, and I have two IBM fiber channel cards that I’m installing for the internal san.

We like to use bit torrent to get our linux distribution and what not, but our cable provider seems to have a packet shaper set up to almost kill any bittorrent upload.  This made it hard to work from home and administrate remote machines. That stinks.

Thanks to a small program called wondershaper, no more problems. I don’t know how it works, but I am a fan of magic.
