How to create a fallback internet connection
by Kibui Maina 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

Hi, anyone know how to create a fallback internet connection? I have two internet connections, Zuku broadband (*Main*) and Safaricom broadband (*Alternate*), I usually connect my Safaricom broadband to the router and disconect the Zuku one when Zuku goes down since its my main connection problem is: users have to change their Gateway when I do this by disconnecting their connections and reconnecting them again. I have been toying with the idea of setting up a server using smoothwall so that when I need to make this change all I do is change the gateway on the server and the clients will not have to mess/change their internet connection settings. Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Formation of the Kenyan Software & Developers Association / Forum / Group

While am not one yet as a local software company or developer, I think time has come for us to develop the portfolio and what we want to see done. Even more important is to see where the Govt is on such matters and whether at all it does anything or has left the industry to the mercy of its own survival. *These are our competitors:* - Pirated software - Open Source software - Proprietory software - Software vendors *Who are applicable to become members:* - Local software companies ( not vendors ) - Frameworks - Platforms - Developers - Anyone who develops localised software *What does the portfolio do?* - Helps us achieve and document what needs to be done on short term and long term goals - Representation and decision making on various ICT industry boards - Improve on the educational system - Creation of awareness and more opportunities for developers - In-house software certification - In-house testing facility - Promotion and Marketing - Promote policies that Govt incentive schemes and goals - Long term visions of the sector Please take your time and think what and where we need to head to. Ideas, points and discussions are all welcome. Asante.
