Re: [newbie] IP_chains or IP_Masq?
Well i'm a newbie myself so let me ask you a stupid question. But b4 I do let me tell you that I have a similar situation using DSL not CAble. I have 5 pc's all on a Lan. one is a Linux box.I'm not too familiar with Cable but it seems that if you have an external modem/router for your cable that you're going about connecting your pc the wrong way. Why don't you just buy a 10bt concentrator for $40 and connect your cable to it. then "all" machines (Linux, pc, and future boxes) all can talk tcp/ip on the lan and internet?

Well. I don't recall the original post, however typically the cable company requires you to use their external box to connect to ONE PC. At that point, you should be able to use your Linux box as a firewall G and route everything through it for security purposes. :-) John They charge 5$'s a month per ip, and limit you to no more than threee IP's. So just pluging into the hub isn't always viable. They being @Home that is.. -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon
