* John Pettigrew;
comes with the Pro version of SuSE), try Shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net/). It's easier to set up and configure (IMO) and has preconfigured setups for 2-interface computers. Read the config instructions and you should only have to change a few lines in the config files. I'm afraid that the linux tools for connection sharing do require editing of config files - there's nothing as easy to set up as the Win programs, but you do get *vastly* more secure systems out of it!
Sorry to jump here but there is no such thing as "preconfigured firewall". Security is not IMO click "Yes" click "Accept" type of thing. I just had a look at the www.shorewall.net site especially for the so called preconfigured 2 interface and 3 interface setups. Looks to me there are many files that have to be configured (read edited with a text editor). SuSEfirewall2 has one (1) configuration file you can edited via text editor or via GUI ( YaST2 firewall module) so for Microsoft Windows GUI fans there is a GUI configurator for SuSEfirewall2 along with the explanation. The only thing that shorewall has as an extra benefit is there is a how to document. Yet SuSEfirewall2 has it also now http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/susefaq/firewall2.pdf?download http://dinamizm.ath.cx/articles/firewall2.pdf ftp://dinamizm.ath.cx/documents/firewall2.pdf Yet IMHO SuSEfirewall2 is easier to setup while allowing real complex configurations.
