To add to this, and looking at it from a few steps back, one can summarize
the base functionality of a firewall as something which "sits in between
various areas of a network (or networks) with differing levels of trust
and enforces the semantics of these levels".

My current understanding is that there isn't a common DVD writer
standard at the moment. So you are going to be bound to a proprietary

I've noticed that there are a number of firewall products discussed on
this list.
I've been using straight iptables rules for firewalling. I'm educated in

Adam,
Not sure if this will help, but try setting "http_proxy" and/or "ftp_proxy" to your
gateway address (or ip.ip.ip.ip:port if you do actually have a proxy server on your
