Yeah.
Buy.
Spend a couple hundred bucks on an out of the box solution that I can have up and running in 15 minutes vs spending untold hours trying to make an undocumented product work. As it stands, I've invested over 16 hours in attempting to get this extremely simple task running with absolutely zero success.
I am out of ideas on how to get this to work and the ideas that have been floated have been unsuccessful. That is not to say that I don't appreciate them. I definitely do. Sadly, the facts of the matter are that I have a network that is screwed, no idea how to fix it, no leads to follow to fix it, and no documentation to engross myself in to even attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
Every time I work with a community supported *nix product, I end up with a bitter taste in my mouth and the overarching feeling of "this is exactly why Linux will never be a mainstream product". I also swear that "this will be the last time"... right up until I try it again.
I've seen nothing to change that view - though I was hoping beyond hope to have an open source solution that actually worked for me.
Thanks for your amazingly insightful post though!
