*********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** Aron; Using two firewalls usually causes problems with file sharing, etc., so I wouldn't bother with 2 firewalls if I were you. If you put up a firewall box in front of the server, remember to shut down the firewall ( Shorewall ) that's running on the server. As far as services that you can shut down are concerned, you'll need to send me a list of the services that are running on it now, and the services that you need. By the way, is this box being used as a server or workstation ? That answer can go a long way to helping us decide what to leave running and what to shut down. Lanman
