Hello,

I modified the network diagram picture on the website. Can you please take a look and tell me if that setup is possible. I am sure other people would like to see if this is possible, too.

The picture is here:

Thank you.

The modified drawing is great. One FP server on the internet, but how it will control the user ? ... user traffic does not travel thru 2 NICs ?

Hello sake,

I guess you would like to have a single FirstSpot to control user access at different hotspot locations?

Please refer to this earlier discussion for details:

Karl,

I see... So you're saying that to do what I want, it will require a "smarter" router at each hotspot, which will create additional cost.

And you also said that a better way to do my setup is to put a FirstSpot-dedicated PC at each hotspot which are all connected to a single, centralized user database across the Internet.

Did I get this right?

Thanks.

and also, what is the minimum hardware requirement for these FirstSpot-dedicated PC (CPU, RAM, etc.)? Your website does not specify this.

Thanks.

On the topology side, you're right.

For the minimum requirement, 64MB of RAM and CPU of 450MHz is the lowest one we've tested.
