Joshua, a slightly more ambitious firewall/NAT configuration exists on my web site: URL: http://home.earthlink.net/~jdow/iptables.sh It is an iptables firewall. It includes the proper ip_forward setting and loads the necessary modules for ftp etc. It is an adaptation of the ipmasquerade site's more secure NAT firewall configuration. Studying it and the original from the on the second of the two sites below. http://www.netfilter.org/ is the basic site you want to visit. http://ipmasq.cjb.net/ is the basic IP Masquerade resource site. Visit both. Perform a little wee miniscule bit of study and proceed on to setup your IPTables NAT firewall. The small amount of RTFM required builds character and confidence in the results. Regardless I highly recommend visiting the above two sites. {^_^} -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
