Ok I haven't used netconf before but there is a good
howto (it's really not as cryptic as some of the
others) the webserver is down but you can find it
here: http://netfilter.samba.org/ plus a decent
overveiw of iptables is here:
http://pinehead.com/articles.php?view=371 and another:
http://www.unixreview.com/articles/2001/0104/0104l/0104l.htm
another:
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/security/iptables_basics.html
and one more for fun:
http://www.securityportal.com/cover/coverstory20010122.html
but if your really happy with ip chains it should be
available as a module that you can load.  Be warned
though that the ICQ, Quake, and raudio modules have
all disappeared in the 2.4 kernel series for now. 
There's now an irc module and ftp module but thats it.
Good Luck.

[newbie] Masquerading and IPTables

[Ross Slade]

1. Is there a howto on Masquerading for Mandrake 8.0? I had it working fine
under 6.0 - 7.1, but not now... I have a static IP (203.14.156.30) and an
internal LAN using 10.0.2.15 for this box and 10.0.2.16 for a WinME box.

One thing I have found is that a friend's box has four tabs in netconf, one
being for forwarding and such - I don't have that tab available so something's
missing - can someone please tell me what package will add that seemingly
critical tab to netconf?

2. I had a resonable firewall under the older versions using ipchains - what's
the best way to convertthe old one into iptables? (since it seems I can no
longer use ipchains?)

Thanks in advance for any help...
