but I don't understand what you mean when you say you're confused as to how that would work wiwth 5 IPs. Basically, you've got a subnet consisting of 5 IPs, so you can make use of subnet masks (in your case 29) within your ipchains rules.
Well, I was wondering how I would use ipchains if the DSL was connected directly to my hub. But as you point out, that doesn't make much sense. It's better to set up the DSL like my modem setup -- as a second NIC on one machine where I can run ipchanins. Then that machine (the one running ipchains) is still my gateway/default route for my LAN. Then I just need to set a default route for that machine (which I guess pppd does for me automatically now).
Need any more help? Just ask.
Oh, I sure that I'll be back ;) Thanks for your help, Bill Moseley mailto:moseley@hank.org -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
