Hmm, I am not even able to add a rule to the firewall to forward data from 
192.168.0.128/25 to EXTIF

:-(


This seems to be more complex that I thought. After adding the route to the 
astlinux box, teh subnet is freely reachable within the LAN, but it cannot 
access the internet.

Is there somewhere a good tutorial to arno's firewall?

Thanks

Michael
