SonicWall

[Steve Cundall]

I have a SonicWall SOHO at home and have been very happy with it. It was
pretty easy to configure. I have it doing NAT and DHCP for the network at my
house and it works fine. Its been stable and I have really never had to
reboot it. I only have one IP address from my DSL ISP carrier, so its been
very helpful in letting me put more machines on the LAN. I am able to
establish PPTP sessions through its NAT with no problems (which is more than
I can say for Cisco routers!). The only bad part, is if you are running NAT,
there is no way to expose any machines on the other side of it to the
Internet. Usually, NAT boxes like this will let you pick one host on the LAN
side to direct any traffic that hits the outside address to. Just means I
can't run a web site through my DSL connection.
