So I understand you right, your main problem is samba, or why did you mention it in the last line???
To make your box completly unavailable to any host, yes, you'll need a firewall, whether on the box you'd like to hide, or use an older machine with 2 nics as a small firewall e.g. like www.ipcop.org to make samba unavailable to others use this in your smb.conf e.g. hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 or even narrow it down to one host like hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.15/255.255.255.0 hth, simmel to remove the possibility -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Harland Christofferson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17.
