Under linux I was just using whatever might be on the clearwire
modem. My laptop connects directly to the modem with nothing else on the
connection.
I have a linksys WRT54G still in the box. Does it have a builtin
firewall, such that if I connect to it by cable it would give some
protection.
Thank You Jim K
PS I know it is stupid using a broadband connection without a firewall.
Under windoze I do use firewall, AV, and Spybot actively and run other
products periodically every 20 - 50 hours of use. And I update
everything in the infrequent times I boot windoze.

Jim,
What are you using for a firewall currently? What is your network
setup I.E. how do you connect to the Internet? What devices do you
have connected between your cable modem and or DSL modem or Clear Wire
modem?
Depending on what your filtering policy and if you have a firewall
device or not. You can use iptables on your Ubuntu machine as a host
based firewall. along with my first question are you trying to
provide access to one or more hosts as well? or just your Ubuntu
machine?

I have 2 questions. I have a laptop running Ubuntu feisty fawn to access
the internet for e-mail and surfing the net.
1) Does anyone have a favorite firewall that is easy to setup?
2) Does anyone have an easy to use gui application to control the
daemons running?
I have had a major slowdown the last several days and now cannot
access the internet under feisty.
The last thing I installed was skype. There are a number of daemons I
don't recognize and figure stop them and put up a firewall and see what
happens before I do a reinstall.
