Thanks, that was helpful. One quick question. Can we use it the same way as any firewall with a DMZ and widows machines on the LAN. zentara wrote:

Is it possible to setup a linux based system as a firewall (Just the bare linux system) for the LAN? If yes, how? Please give me some explanation and links that show how this can be done.

Go to http://freshmeat.net and in the search box enter "firewall floppy"

I did that too. Can you be more specific Thanks and regards Leo Togan Muftuoglu wrote:

I have experience with dachstein and bering. They're cool. Pretty easy to set up, well documented, loads of diferent packages available...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention; They do DMZs too :)
