Easy way to configure firewall : install firestarter. ( apt-get install firestarter ) It is a simple enough and great FW configuration program. Remember though that I am calling it "simple" as in basic. But for your needs ( as stated in your post ) I guess it will be all right. Hope it helps. fede -- Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem ( http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor ) +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | gpg public key : http://giskard.homelinux.com/~f/tulkas.asc | +------------------------------------------------------------------+
