Matthew I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I use Linksys
Router connected to my Linux box and two other Win machines. I have not used
a firewall or ipchains, seeing that NAT is built into the router. I see you
mention a script for sever with NAT, is this something that I should be
looking into? Or should I be safe enough with the router with the built in
NAT.
Thanks.....
