Well, squid works ontop of ipchains. I ran out of time so I wans't really able to disable squid and try that. thanks for the tip though. What I would really love is to get my hands on the actual firewall script. I am thinking it may be worth my while to set up my own rules. there are a few thinggs that I would love to clarify though. 1.) Will I have to place my ISP DNS address in all my machines in order to resolve inet addresses, or will it automatically be resolved through pppd ? 2.) does anyone have any sample ipchains rules, for a typical home network. my setup is as follows 1- SuSE6.3 Firewall machine which also acts as a Wins server and windows Domain Controllor, 3- windows based machines, for teh rest of the fam 1- Dual boot SuSE/Windows Design Station. which will be all Linux soon.

Hi,
** I have found the newbie help files (NHF) at http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ to ** be invaluable when you are not sure what to do. Not everything is covered, ** but what is there is explained so that we mere mortals can understand it!
Yes - they might be of help for some items but not necessarily firewalling with SuSE's firewall s/w. I've been in UNIX/Networks for at least 5 years and like hell I can get a SuSE firewall to do the job it's supposed to do without adequate documentation (which doesnt exist at the moment). I will say that LinuxNewbie.org is a lot more helpful than most of the LDP though :)
Chris.
