Hey,
 
Heres my situation, currently I have 9 computers networked via a 16port switch. I want to hook up a Linux box from the switch and to an ADSL modem. The Linux box will be setup as a packet filtering firewall. My main problem here (which led me to the bridged firewall) is that users on my windows systems use a PPPoE dialer (cFOS) to connect to the through the ADSL modem. I know that I will have to somehow tell the firewall to allow these connections.
 
       My Linux box spec, Pentium 2 300MhZ    256mb     two ethernet cards Intel Etherexpress pro 100B(eth0) and DEC 21*40(eth1). Currently on the machine is redhat linux 8.0, running minimal services anonftp is the only service i want running. 
I dont want to have to proxy, because that would defeat the object of having seperate ADSL accounts. If you could point me in the right direction, firstly how to setup and maintain the bridge and secondly how to go about setting up the firewall to allow PPPoE dialer connections.
Thanks,
 
Gareth
