MS Proxy server 2.0 is not a firewall in any sense, only a proxy. Therefore, they have NO firewall. Unless you are reffering to a different unit that is a firewall. If so, what brand?

I have already been able to exploit it. I am recommending they get a regular firewall put in place and dump all the rest. They however dont want to spend too much $$ on the project so I was thinking why ont a linux firewall? Having never set one up before and only having a little knowledge of linux where can I go to get a basic tutorial that just covers firewalls and linux. I know there are a million pages of text out there on linux and firewalls but i am under a slight time constraint and need a step by step with explanations or something similar for now. Any1 know of any sites or texts to get that would do this? TIA kenderkin
