Has anyone used these two programs and could help me? Guarddog is a firewall setup program for kde3 using iptables (by default but I believe it can be set up for ipchains also). Guidedog is used with Guarddog to do the routing though linux. It sets up ip masquarading. Now, I have been playing with these two programs to set up my firewall for my network. I run Apache web server, a vnc server, Samba, and NeverWinter Nights Server with ports 80, 5910-5911, 137, 139, and 5121 used respectfully. Using the firewall, I cannot get any services to run on my LAN. Nothing. I use two subnets for the lan. One for the my Linksys Wireless Access Point Router w/ four port switch and one ethernet card; the other for my second ethernet card and the rest of the lan. If anyone knows of a better wireless access point router w/ four port switch, please tell me. This one really sucks. It drops all the time for some reason. Anyway, I use the router to connect to the dsl (part of the reason I already tried to get dsl to work directly from linux but it didn't). But, I use the default gateway as my NIC in my computer to filter out packets. :) Well, trying anyway. I have one linux box and a lab top with Windows XP Home. I plan to make a gateway linux box later but for now i'm dual booting because i don't have much of a choice. =P Any ideas? Jesse Spangenberger
