I could use some clarification on this: I'm in the process of installing
DSL, and am going to use a Linux box as a firewall, with 2 (maybe 3)
Windows machines behind it on the LAN. These are home PC's, nothing of a
real sensitive nature on them, and the Windows boxes aren't set up for
file or printer sharing, so no one can get in to see their files anyway.
Basically what you're saying is that I can just hook up the ethernet
cards, do some modifications on the Linux firewall to include the gateway
IP address, allow packet forwarding, assign each ethernet card an IP
address; and basically we're off?
I was told that to use ipchains I have to compile ipchain support into the
kernel - never recompiled the kernel, don't have a clue how to do this.
