Yeah, I love that I was able to set-up my home network in like 20 minutes with no knowledge, but now that I want to tweak it...That's the beauty of Mandrake though, you can get up and running with stuff so easily, but still have the freedom of other Linux distros to go in and manually hack stuff up as much as you like. The Shorewall website (http://www.shorewall.net) mentions that if you want to use their documentation Mandrake users will have to basically reinstall shorewall and start over. I may be heading that way soon. Bryan > > --- Bryan Murdock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does anyone even have a good pointer for me? Is > > iptables the right > > thing to be trying to understand?
