Using your Eigerstein beta2 pppoe beta v.0.4 I have had no problems with ICQ.  Nor did I have to do anything diiferent with the set up of ICQ to get it to work.

One thing a LEAF firewall has over a SOHO firewall (Such as netgear,
linksys, etc) is the ability to add packages such as DNS, web server,
intrusion detection, and my personal favorite, the Socks5 proxy for the ever
so troublesome but always useful, ICQ instant messenger (which ive yet to
hear of anyone being able to receive files when firewalled with a SOHO
unit).
It really depends on what the user needs, because in really simple cases
(AKA...home user with a few PC's) I usually recommend a Linksys unit. For
anyone who needs anything more advanced I recommend and usually setup a LEAF
firewall.

Subj ect: [Leaf-user] Comparison between LRP and the hub/router


I have the official release (v1.0.1) of Dachstein-CD up over the weekend
and
was very very excited
about it. Thanks, Charles.

I convinced a couple of friends to use LRP (usually 1-floppy) but some
said
they prefer a ready
hub/router in home environment (3-4 computers) because:

+ price: a Linksys hub/router costs around $110 Canadian dollars. If you
have
to go and buy a complete LRP box (2 NICs, a hub, a computer box with
16M),
it
costs more than that unless you go to used-computer shop and not
everyone
knows howto.
+ job done: the hub/router could also do NAT, IPSEC, PPPOE and DMZ.
+ setup: definitely hub/router is easier than LRP

I have never used the hub/router and so do not have any experience about
that.

What are your comments?
