Hi, Ralph & the Gang,
         As I mentioned in my other post I am running Mandrake 7.2 kernel 
2.2.17-21mdk.  On two machines an AMD K6-2 300Mhz box, and a 150Mhz pentium 
box which I'm trying to make a gateway/router/firewall.
        I've gotten several cd's with my copies of Maximum LInux (soon to be 
defunct) and most of the goodies on those discs have files that end in 
tar.gzip  I was wondering how do I untar and/or ungzip those files using the 
command line as I need to get some of those files into the 150Mhz gate box 
and Xwindows is very slow.
        My question about ipchains is how do I set it up on the 150Mhz box so I can 
use it as the router/gateway/firewall between Western Illinois University's 
(WIU's) LAN and my two desktop boxes?  I tried using the scripts posted on 
the Techtv superguide to set ipchains up, but sonething wasn't quite kosher, 
and I wasn't able to get 'em to work.  Without ipchains running I'm not sure 
I can get my babylan to working.
