--=_tcob1.net-7239-1008635602-0001-2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I know I'll take some flack over this one....since it doesn't use MDK The best luck I have had was to dig up a 486 (or if you like, early pentium), get two older network cards (ones that have DOS software to configure I/O and IRQ's), and go get Eigerstein http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/DiskImages/Eiger/EigerStein.htm Read other pages at the site for an explanation of set-up. SUMMARY: This allows you to set up a router/firewall that boots from 1 floppy disk. You can make extra copies of the disk once you have the configuration you need, and you don't need an HDD. Once the system is running, you can remove the disk. In the remote chance that some hacker manages to compromise your router, you just reboot to reset everything back to normal. There is no disk to which they can save files changes. My installation at home gets a Dynamic IP from my DSL provider, and dishes out Private IP's (192.168.x.x) on the inside. Once I set that up early last year, the only maintenance has been a couple reboots due to power interruptions. A second reset is usually required because my router comes back up quicker than my DSL service. I have tested this configuration against several security sites, and come out looking pretty darn good!
