RedHat 5.1 (Yes, I'm THAT brave), MediaOne, Lose95 client off firewall.

<SIDENOTE> 
RedHat 5.1 kernel recognized _BOTH_ of my DEC DE-450 Tulip cards ($11.95
each)from the get-go.  No recompiling the kernel.  The hardware
compatibility list is your friend.
</SIDENOTE>

After some doing, I've implemented Robert Ziegler's "Using Linux to
Configure a Home LAN and Connect to Mediaone Express" faq at
http://rlz.mediaone.net/linux

Is there a better reference?

1) I don't see how ifdhcp-done executed rc.firewall.  Can someone tell me?

2) I'm not sure of the lines in /etc/sysconfig/network.  I have:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=true  <= does "yes" or "true" make a difference?
HOSTNAME=kramer.ne.mediaone.net <= my hostname or the host to outside?
GATEWAYDEV=eth0   <= should this be the port to inside or outside
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 <= should this be the fw's inside ip or outside?

3)From my Win95 box, I can connect with ftp, but not ls, etc.  I can from
do both the firewall.  I thought the following line (from the above FAQ)
would handle that:
    #  allow ftp-data (20), ftp (21)
    #    20 is necessary client to 'ls' our ftp site.
     ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -W $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE \
             -S $ANYWHERE $UNPRIVPORTS \
             -D $LOCALHOST 20 21 
I saw some reference on this list to a ip_masq_ftp.  Do I need that?
Where would I get it?

4)I can't check news from my Win95 box either. I AssUMed thatit was a
straightforward change to the rule above, but when I added 119, it didn't
work.


Thanks in advance.
