But, you can find that various affordable domestic routers are quite awful when it comes to features. Such as customising their DHCP server, doing name resolution for local hostnames, having a better DNS server than the ISP's, controlling port-forwarding n their NAT if you run servers. So, in my case I switch off those features and do them on my server. I hadn't done NAT since I left the dial-up world for broadband. And yes it is normally a lot easier with a router (when it works). For the last few months I've been lumbered with using my mobile phone for my internet, USB tethering it to a PC, using it as a WiFi access point for other things. It's quite a pain. I have messed with setting up NAT on the PC it's connected to, but there's always something that doesn't want work with that. The MAC next to me is fine with it. A Fedora box elsewhere on the same LAN refuses to play ball. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
