Hi Jon, Thanks for your quick answer. I cannot try it, as I'm in the office right now but I would have a couple of questions: 1. Is there any reason why I would need to change the addresses of the network cards? The addresses I picked up were the ones sugested in the SuSE support db at: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/masq80.html. Sorry if this question sounds stupid but I'm no network expert ;-> 2. Is there any reason to use shorewall instead of SuSE firewall? I found it very handy to configure via YaST and it seems to cover my (basic) needs (all my ports are stealthed when scanning them). Thanks in advance anc cheers, Xavier _____________________________________________________________________ Envie de discuter en "live" avec vos amis ?
