>I am curious as to why you are taking this test,
Because it's one of my subjects (i think that's the right name, you know where there
is a teacher telling pupils about stuff) at the school where I go.
>and why you chose IP Masq as your specialty when it is obviously not.
Well, we had to choose something, and I think IP Masq. is interresting, so I chose it.
We've only had Linux for 3 months (6 hours a week) or so, and I had to learn Linux at
the same time. So I think i've done ok.
>Masq is NOT firewalling. While
>the two are usually found playing together, they are not one and the same.
Ok, yeah, bye when you set up a IP Masq. server/machine, following the IP Masq. HOWTO,
is that then allso a little firewall, or what? Because I think a setup like that
appears somewhat like a Firewall, alt least from my point of view (don't know very
much about firewalls).

Hmm, oh yeah, that's right. But with eg. ipchains you can do some of that stuff too,
that's why I'm a bit confused.
>I would recommend not taking this test until you truely feel IP Masq'ing
>is your specialty.
Well, I can't it's compulsory (again a new word for me, something I HAVE to do, to be
able to get to the next semester. And we do not have to be experts to go to the examn.
So I think/hope it will go ok.
>Specnd some time on this list, experiment, and read all you can.
I've allready done that, somewhat anyways. But I will keep doing it, because I'm using
IP Masquerading every time I'm on the net.
