Hmmm, Dave I don't understand your response or how you can come to a conclusion that my entire system is a waste of resources! That is a ridiculous and very unhelpful thing to say. As for your comment to just use software to control access, why do you think I wrote my question that started this thread? I am looking for a way to configure my network to do just that and I don't grok how to do so. All you have done is throw my question back at me, told me to wave my hand and use software magic to control access. Others have suggested I buy some external hardware such as a router to accomplish my goal, implying that OpenSuSE's software is not up to doing the job I want it to do. That is called a tautology - Either use software solutions or hardware solutions to accomplish my goal! Confused! Marc....
