Can someone please tell me what choices I have to connecting a Novell Netware 4.11 Network to the Internet?Thanks!!!

Do you want it to be secure ? You will need a piece of hardware that will do NAT for you. Otherwise, you'll have to publicly register every IP address. With NAT, you can just get one static IP address. Your router can then "distribute" NAT IP addresses to the rest of your clients. Another method is to run a proxy server like MS Proxy Server for NT or to run Novell's Border Manager. BorderManager is preferred since it makes use of NDS for access control. You'll need 2 network cards for the proxy server of your choice. The "public" one will run straight to the CSU/DSU that your phone company provides or the router that the phone company provides. (Their hardware will interface with the Internet connection type you choose - fractional T1, ISDN, DSL, whatever) The second NIC card is given the IP address scheme of your Internal Private network. You'll set up NAT on the proxy server or the router that you own. Clients go through NAT to get to the Internet. Some routers provide basic firewall capabilities, but the most secure is a stateful inspection and a proxy firewall combined. A good Cisco router and BorderManager would be IDEAL! Since you are now introducing your entire Network to the public Internet - I highly recommend consulting with a real consultant. It's worth the money. There's several thousand high school kids that will break into your network otherwise - I guarantee it. On a side note, research this as much as you can so you can speak the talk and get exactly what you need. On another side note, if you are not currently implementing IP in your Novell Network, Bordermanager DOES provide an IPX/IP gateway so that you can STILL run IPX (and IPX ONLY), but have all packets encapsulated to become IP. Slow, but it works. There's also the fact that you'll need to run DHCP on one of your servers and or determine your IP addressing scheme if you do not currently have IP running... so please, visit with a consultant.
