Steve - Swing by my office and I'll help you out. I'm out of the office until Friday at a security conference but I'd be glad to answer any questions you have. Until then, check out: The Online Linux firewall configuration http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html (this is the best for generating a firewall script) and: The Network Administrators' Guide http://linuxwww.db.erau.edu/NAG/ Linux IP Masquerade Resource http://ipmasq.cjb.net/ The DNS resources directory http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/ IPCHAINS homepage http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/ Linux Firewalls Mailing List Archive http://www.netsys.com/firewalls/ IPMASQADM homepage http://juanjox.kernelnotes.org/ - Gary Nichols (fellow BCBSAZ d00d) On Mon, 28 Jan 2002, Steve Young wrote: > New to the linux world.

I want to eventually set this box up to be my firewall, because I have 4 machines sitting behind it. For the time being I am just trying to hook up 2 of them. A Mac dual G4 and a WIN 98 machine. I have set the WIN 98 up with the address of 10.1.1.2 and the Mac up with 10.1.1.4 > I went into the Internet Explorer and set it to use a proxy server. But I haven't been able to get either of these machines to see out. I set the Proxy server address to 10.1.1.1 so I'm not sure if thats the prob or not. I can ping both ways from the WIN 98 to Cal and Cal to WIN 98. I can also ping the Mac from the Cal to the Mac, but the Mac does not currently have Mac Ping on it yet. > Where is a good admin source I could use to properly set up my intranet. I have checked the Caldera site for several hours to no avail. Maybe I just keep missing it. I've also tried a number of things in the OpenLinux Doc that came with the OS I bought from them. > >
