Ah, ok you have adsl. I saw there a ppp0 device in your ipchains. I thought this would be some kind of an analog modem or some isdn TA. If it's a leased line (I guess so; I never played before with pppoe) then you don't need masquerading if you don't wish to use it.
Well we are assigned a dynamic IP (if I reconnect I get a new ip). ADSL connection is at my firewall/router box which is running 7.1 and I have my workstation (also 7.1) and my wife's laptop (running MS). So I have to use masquerading to let her surf or I die :-O
This you need. I don't understand OUTERNET (is this your dmz network??)
I use OUTERNET as my EXTERNALIP (ISP assigned) OK quick questions to make sure I got it correct
Ipchains for DNS only: #requesting rule ipchains -A output -p udp -s $my.dns.server 1024:5000 -d $internet 53 -i
$my.dns.server = points what ISP or my internal ? $internet = meaning 0/0 or my IP assigned by the ISP or ? $interneteth = this is the internet connecting interface not INTERNAL
Read Oreilly's Building internet firewalls. This is a standard security bed lecutre.
I will see if the bookstore has it if not will order via amazon. Thanks for the recommendation -- Togan Muftuoglu
