yeah, yeah... Keep on bragging Mr. CTO.... ;-P BTW, congrats on the new position. P.S.. The ASCII was not that bad and the idea is correct. Just as I thought. He will probably have to run routed to be able to use legal IP addresses but the firewall stuff is just fine. The Wolf -----Original Message----- From: J.

UGLY ASCII ART FOLLOWS: | |--> Host1 |H|--> Host2 DSL router <--> Linux Firewall <-|U|--> Host3 |B|--> Host4 Configure the DSL router to only accept connections from the Linux Firewall. Configure the Hosts to only talk to the firewall. The firewall will have 2 Ethernet cards, one for each network segment. Sleep better at night. I have a 4 port DSL modem and only use 1 port in a configuration similar to the one above. See: http://www.magusnet.com/magusnet1.html for an example. Jean Francois Sends...
