Hi,
I'm configuring new laptops for my daughters. They're almost ready (except for a dvd-problem, see a thread in this list), but I'm uncertain which firewall-zone I have to put the NIC's in. On my own laptops I put all NIC's in internal zone, but is this safe ? I think mostly it will be, except for hotspots and the like. And on my machine I don't have services running (I chould check though ;-) ), but I don't know what my "customers" will need in the future, and where they will be online.
What's your opinion ? If it connects to the Internet, it's external. So, if you're installing on a stand alone computer, then the NIC is configured as external. If you're building a firewall, the NIC connected to the Internet is external and the one connected to the local network is internal. Normally, it's traffic from the outside world that has to get past the firewall.
