well, my son is running XP, but he did have the Sygate Personal Firewall setup.He HAD a router installed, but his ISP was charging $25 a month extra for another PC, so he toook it down. I'm trying to get him to run Linux!!!
$25 extra per month for a firewall/router???? That's nuts!!! What he should have done, is cloned the computer's MAC address into the router, so that it appears to the ISP as the same computer. He'll have a similar issue with a Linux based firewall, unless he moves the original NIC to the firewall or copies the MAC address.
that's what I said. I told him how to do the cloning MAC address, but he said they STILL charged him.. I'm thinking he didn't do something right... -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
