I believe all you have to do is set up a little network with the computer that is actually dialing out as the gatewway and have tcp/ip forwarding enabled on the gateway machine and you are off and running. -- Bob Barish, CTO B.M.T Solutions http://www.bmtsolutions.com Go confidently into your dreams 8:42am up 1 day, 14:19, 4 users, load average: 0.05, 0.53, 0.71
You will almost certainly need to enable IP Masquerading (also called NAT)
also too. It is a very good idea to set up a firewall on ANY computer
connected to the Internet.

There are a number of ways to go on this. To accomplish this you need Network Address Translation (NAT) which lets you have several computers using your one IP address. You could have your computer be that firewall and let it route traffic to your other computers. It is however a very bad idea from a security standpoint. Any flaws in your computer would become a hole that can be used to break in to all of your computers. You should have a seperate device or computer acting as a wall against hackers (firewall). If a computer, it should not be used as a desktop computer. The good part is you can use a 486 and happily feed a T1 connection (1.5MBit vs 50KBit on a modem). It could also act as a router and be your gateway to the Internet. Then behind this you have all your computers. Now you can have a lowered security level than that of your firewall, which means higher usability. The firewall/router solution can be a device you pick up at CompUsa, I prefer using computers because I can program it exactly to fit my needs. For example www.freesco.org has a floppy solution which is pretty good. All it requires is two network cards, and a floppy drive. Will work on 486 with 8MB RAM. My ideal solution is OpenBSD. Here you have an OS that have not had any breakin in five years on their default install. Every line of code is audited for holes and flaws. OpenSSH is developed by the same people. Using Linux for this is also workable but I prefer to use the best tool for the job. If I catch it in time I would be happy to give you more help. On Saturday 01 June 2002 11:34, you wrote:

There'a an article on sharing ADSL at webmonkey that may help : http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/30/index3a.htm You might want to look into using a Broadband Router with built-in firewall - such as SMC's Barricade 7004ABR Best wishes Timothy Mason

Half the switches on the web interface are not even mentioned, let alone explained. OK, it works fine as a modem but as for security I'm not sure I'd trust it very far. I'm saving up for a proper solution in a few months' time. It's very, very hard to beat iptables with full logging and stuff like port sentry and log sentry sitting behind and watching them, imho, for a small network or home setup. :) Mark

Clarification of this at http://staff.washington.edu/corey/fw/nat.html - no, the 'l' didn't get sliced off in the move this time (why are people so touchy about anything that could be considered MS? And why do they see the evil genius everywhere? Windows under the bed?)

I just followed the manual and off it went. Maybe I was lucky. Best wishes Timothy Mason

Nothing to do with Microsoft. The same thing would apply to a toaster. It's to do with the integrity of a product and whether its makers are prepared to stand behind it. None of the cheap domestic routers I've seen contains a "firewall" at all in the proper sense of the term, although they'd like you to think they do. Too bad the makers can't be shagged to explain things in their manuals or even on their websites, but then that might give the game away. One of the reason I like Linux is that by and large these things are fully explained without an attempt to pull the wool over your eyes. SuSE's excellent manuals are a case in point. :) Mark

Frederico, It's near midnight here so I'm not in the mood to look it up but... you need to look at masquerading (also sometimes called IP_FORWARDING). In short this can be setup in YAST2 in the sysconfig editor, or as part of the firewall. There may be some other issues as well so you should look up masquerading in the manual / how-to's as well. The ex-suse linux knowledge portal has several articles on setting up a network which should also cover some of this. See: http://www.linux-knowledge-portal.org/en/content.php?&content/server/fire1.html Good luck. Jethro Jethro
