hi Ron, first - thanks for your answer. but have a lot of open questions anyway. the script you mentioned, I have downloaded. but for example, I don't have a setted up DNS yet.
Reading the docs about DHCP shows a big disadvantage, if using a DHCP-server : the connected clients does NOT have some knowledge of the neighbourhouds of clients. to circumvent this problem, the docs talks about setting up a real DNS within the local network. and this DNS should NOT be the firewall. Now - I have 3 workstations and 1 (designated) firewall. and maybe, the workstations would be grow in the future. the result of all these docs just now is, that I am confuesed - does not know what I should do. would it be possible to give some helps in realizing these installation-steps ? thanks once again bye hans Am Don, 2002-10-17 um 21.41 schrieb Ron Stodden: > hans privat wrote: > > hi, > > in a sysadmin-book I've read, that with kernel 2.4 the "iptables" > > should be used. > > > > now I have done a lookup with lsmod and have seen, that there was NO > > iptables but an ipchains. > > You have the iptables RPM installed.
