[panchoman]

This will make an excellent addition to TPU, good job craig!

[PVTCaboose1337]

Umm... good question... should forum be use to discuss firewalls as well, or is that more software, because if so, I would rename this forum, "Network Related"

[craigwhiteside]

well there are two types of firewalls really, hardware and software. but we will see what wiz decides

You are the networking guy! Come on and make up your mind! Do you think you should rename it? :)

I dont want to suggest forum overkill, but a forum on "Security", incl. Firewalls, hard and soft, Antivirus, Malware, etc. would be VERY HELPFUL.

Ya... security is not networkings but...

OK!

Networking and Security Forum

FTW

[craigwhiteside]

hmm, still trying to decide on the structure of the section, need this planned out xD

maybe call it General Networking, and subdivide it into other sections like, Network Hardware and Network Software and Security

[panchoman]

dont forget that you man this forum now! i would say hardware firewalls would definently be eligible for this section. software firewalls are shaky, but if we could get a forum put into the software category about security as lemonade suggested(great idea btw), then software firewalls are definently for that forum.

its your call man :)

EXACTLY! That is perfect.

[craigwhiteside]

i am thinking about subdividing it because networking is so big now that it has soo many other fields it can branch out too.

[spud107]

i need to learn about linux wireless networking, especially the command line side,
using a linux distro i dont know if i can mention lol

[effmaster]

lol wow thanks for that photo its effing amazing, it puts what [I] once had to deal with at my NASA internship to shame. (I had to deal with 12 different computers and sort out which cable was supposed to go with each one lol (took us hours finding each one and then labeling it))

[tzitzibp]

Network software and hardware are the next things I want to get involved with... as a fresher i believe your help will prove most welcome! Thank you vm! :toast:
