Guess my question is: Can the suse firewall be used like a bridge? To allow our FTP server, & our pc's to web access through it? I thought it may only be for an individual workstation. Like the XPHome firewall. Just looking for a little advice, as I have no clue what I'm doing.
Yes.. or you can even use a normal box setup ipchains on it.. have a dual homed host.. has been working for use since donkeys years.. though we use a rather old version.. but works perfect here. We have now even done RAS on another system to access the net over our VPN.. Go ahead and do it.. perhaps depending upong the number of users you should have I would say min 128 mb to work fine.. though 64 would also not be a problem but the more the faster it gets..
I know alot of this is covered on the net, so I'm really sorry to have not reaserched this better. I was planning on setting this up when I was "good & ready". Just this jerk has changed our plans. :( -Trey
