Linux can do everything the firewall devices can do. Or you can make life easier (and probably safer) and buy yourself one of these. Like was previously mentioned for less then $100 you get a firewall, and a 4 port hub. They provide DHCP services and they come preconfigured to block inbound traffic. If you want to be able to get in, you can open the ports desired. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
