Adrian, What might help you is to get an understanding first of what ipchains are and what a firewall is. There is a HOWTO on your system, well actually there are a few that you should read to get started. At any rate the docs that you need to get started are already on your system. You can find them under the "K" menu -> Documentation -> HOWTo's... Or you can load this URL in your browser window: /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/index.html That should bring up the index page of all the howto's that are currently on your system. Among other things you may want to take a look at "Firewall and Proxy Server HOWTO", "Linux IPCHAINS-HOWTO". These two that are already on your system should get you started fairly well in the right direction. There's also a neat little ipchains package on the net that will help you configure an ipchains firewall without acually knowing that much about them. It's called PMFirewall. You can find that package here: http://www.pointman.org/PMFirewall/ As far as errecting a firewall nothing is more powerful then knowledge and actually knowing just how to do it yourself. -- daRcmaTTeR ---------- Registered Linux User 182496
