I use ipchains and it is solid beyond belief.
Was my question unclear? I did not mention ipchains. Yes, I know that ipchains is used in masquerading and firewalling.
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/HOWTO.html http://www.bb-zone.com/FWHowTo/ I am aware of these already and that is not what I need.
Could your ISP be changing your IP address every 10 hours? This would probably cause your firewall to fall over... Thanks Chris for your answer. It seems to be more on topic. It is possible that they are doing that but I am not really sure. I checked the address yesterday and today after recovering from another failure but the address is the same. Can the ISP force a renewal but the new address might be the same? If so, would this cause the firewall to die as you mention? My Bellsouth ADSL connection is VERY unreliable and dies quite often. Perhaps this forces the address renewal?
