Are you able to connect internet line directly to your shorewall router? I
mean without so called homehub? Or is it possible to set up this homehub as
a transparent bridge? Without routing and firewalling functions. Why I ask
about this? Shorewall iptables firewall is a really great piece of software
and it doesn't do any unexped behaviors. I use it for a couple of years and
I am really satisfied of its functioning.

Best regards
Witek
