Nokio,
Anyway. I'm fairly new with Linux networking and i'm a little stumped. I have three boxes, none have OS's yet, but i'm planning on one having Windows XP Pro, and the other two with Redhat 8.0. My plan is to have one of the Redhat boxes set up kind of as a router(?) so my two computers other computers could share the same internet.
Grab a copy of (GPL) www.Smoothwall.org - let it do the hard work, on a small (P133/higher) machine. PPP0E, DHCP, DUN etc - whatever your ISP requires. Using 2 NIC's, you'll have a NAT'd LAN, and a great firewall. You can add machines at will, using simple 192.x.x.x addressing. Just set the default gateway to your smoothie, such as, 192.168.0.1 or similar - then enjoy the traffic graphs, Snort, and so forthe. Not bad for free ;) Check out! .02, /b --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
