Unless you are running software like Webstar, Timbuktu Pro without any passwords, or a private FTP server, I wouldn't use a firewall on the classic side, unless you had a network firewall for all your computers like I do with my RedHat Linux 7.2 box. IPChains and IPTables are good programs. If anyone wants a hand setting that up with two network cards please drop me a line I am more than willing to give you my script. -- Ryan Coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT that knows your first name.
