My son is having problems with his ( XP ) PC. He seems to be getting smurf attacks, or something like that. I'm not sure I can sway him to run SUSE ( or any Linux distro), but I may be able to get him to run a Linux firewall on another, older, spare PC. Could he just run SUSE on this spare box and use his cablemodem from XP, through the SUSE box? what would be other suggestions for a Linux firewall box ? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

If looking for something that doesn't require knowing or messing with cryptic stuff like NAT rules which still confuses the hell out of me, http://BBIagent.net is simplicity itself and could easily be got working without much Linux knowledge.
