You'll need to give more information if you expect any useful help - see http://shorewall.net/support.htm >Second problem. I wanne us vmware and if I set up a vm I wanne give the >vm a public ip. >I am shure this is all possible but I can't find out how. Do you have a second IP to give it ? If not then it isn't going to work. If your provider at the other end has given you more than one usable IP then you can do it, but that's not a shorewall issue, that's a simple VMware setup/configuration issue. After you've configured VMware then you can use Shorewall to protect it - but get the VMware working first. BTW, I assume VMware does bridging similar to Xen - if so then I can tell you that setting up Shorewall is far, far from trivial. To be brutally honest, your questions suggest that you do not have the skills to do this. Don't take this as a personal criticism, but I get the impression that you lack sufficient fundamental knowledge of networking & firewalling - and whilst people are willing to try and help you, I suspect it will be a frustrating experience for all concerned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
