Hello: I have two network cards in a machine where eth0 is connected to my ADSL line and eth1 is connected to my internal network. I was wondering what the rc.config variable MSQ_DEV is used for? It is presently set to 'eth0'. Is this an incorrect or unused variable? I ask the question because I manually enter: /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p masquerade ..in my /sbin/boot.local file. I was wondering if the MSQ_DEV variable or any combination of the MSQ_XXX variables could have configured what I do manually in teh /sbin/boot.local file. ---------------- I struggle between the difference between IP masquerading/firewalling/forwarding. In my setup, all my Win95 clients on my internal network have IPs of 192.168.1.x. We all access the internet via the Linux SuSE 6.0 server/gateway on eth0. Am I masquerading, firwalling, or forwarding? Is there an easy take away that describes the difference amonst the three? Thanks all. I'm a newbie having everything working but just want to understand so I can assist others. Thanks again Lester. -- To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
