hello list, I came across a little problem lately that I think linux can solve. There is a site I work at that's using a symantec 200r router. It's worked fine for a while...but that company leased a block of public IP addresses. The 200r looks like it doesn't have functionality for building routing tables on the WAN side. The LAN side is decent...but not the WAN. So...I'm thinking - Suse to the rescue! I need to route the block of public IP's they leased to a few machines on the inside. What books or docs do you guys recommend for this? I've used the Susefirewall for use at home and it's worked just fine. I don't recall the details of the susefirewall docs but I think it can do WAN and LAN routing. There aren't any books on Suse that I know of....the books I've seen for linux are from oreilly and places like that. Should I use the susefirewall method or should I use the more "common" methods like those described in this book: Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Edition - o'reilly is the publisher. Thanks, Oskar

http://sourceforge.net/projects/susefaq has the unofficial manual for the SuSEfirewall2 http://linux-ip.net is good documentation also

That is the must to read IMHO. SuSEfirewall2 is a packet filter (also a screening router) so combining it with proxies for the services you are offering should give you an acceptable security solution -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
I folks, I've a COMPAQ ML370 running SuSE 8.0, and the parallel port is rather slow (well, works fine, but with a 300 LPM Printronix's printer do you see the difference!). I already chanegd the IRQ from -1 to 7; but now I want to change DMA, I used both 3 and 0, but still the /proc/sys/parport/parport0/dma have -1; any ideas? Thanks, Jean H//
