Quite awesome. I used the tutorial on their webpage and it seemed to work just as I wanted. I tried several online port scans, i.e. Sygate, Shields Up, etc., and they all returned all ports as stealthed. And yet my internet connection, masquerading, and ssh connections are all up and running just as I need. Many thanks for the help. Patrick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
