Setting up a firewall without knowing what it exactly does is dangerous. You should consider learning how to write your own firewall rules IMO.

Sorry can't help you with firestarter since i don't use it. -- Matthias Hentges [www.hentges.net] -> PGP + HTML are welcome ICQ: 97 26 97 4 -> No files, no URLs My OS: Debian Woody: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
