I am attempting to setup a firewall to protest a box connected to the Internet by a modem. I am going to/maybe already have used/try using ip_chains and pmfirewall-1.1.4. Question. How can I tell if the firewall works? -- David Boles [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Type 'locate ipchains' and that'll find it for you (it's in /sbin).

Hi. I'm attempting to setup PMfirewall. The first thing that goes wrong is it asks where ip_chains is. Its supposed to be in /sbin, but its not. I did check /proc, and ip_fwchains is there... so, any ideas? Thanks! -- /\ Dark>
Re: [newbie] IP_chains or IP_Masq?
Guys, There is very good article in Wired (http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/99/30/index3a.html?tw=frontdoor) about setting up IP masquerading. I have similar setup to the one described in the original post (linux box connected to @home via 1 nic, 2nd nic connected to the hub connecting all other computers). Works great for me.

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?

[newbie] IP_chains or IP_Masq?
Hello everyone, First I'd like to say that im very new to Linux and I've been 'lurking' on the list for quite some time now and I have gone and read the archives about my problem. I'm wanting to setup my bran spanking new LM6.1 box as a 'gateway' (not sure if this is what it is or not) and have my '98 computer go thru it to my cable modem to the outside world, I've read the HOWTO's and FAQ's and the LM Archives without much help (Again im very new to Linux and most of the doc's just were not descriptive enough for me to understand...yet) So here's my question, If someone cant step me thru the procedure (what settings to put in what file(s) and where those files are, Or at least give me some very descriptive HOWTO links) with the network information im about to give I'll be eternally grateful to the person(s) ok here's my network layout: IP: 24.7.136.XX <- you never know who's out there ;) nameserver1: 24.0.53.33 nameserver2: 24.0.53.34 domain: potlnd1.or.home.com host: C4673X-X On my '98 computer what network information do I change? I know I have to assign it a internal and have the 'gateway' point to the Linux box, Correct? im pretty sure I can figure the '98 part though. I know that im basically asking to be flamed by having 'someone else do all the work' but im just really stumped here! so if your thinking about flaming me just remember when you were a newbie and you were stumped so you had to ask a support group for help :) Again thanks for all the other help I've been getting of the list (Being a lurker that is) and keep up the great work! if there is any more information you need please let me know! :-) Michael Castleberry Proud Linux newbie.
