Thanks for the info.....a very big help.
I work in communications (lan/wan stuff) and we use Checkpoint for our =
firewall and a Cisco 3005 VPN box so I wouldn't imagine that setting =
this thing up will pose too much problem.......but then again, I've =
spoken too quickly in the past so wish me luck! <G>

Cleve, I have two Linksys firewalls, one wired and one wireless. I use =
both at home and they work just fine. After installing the wireless =
drivers on a Redhat 7.1 (now 7.2) laptop I am able to roam around the =
house, yard in wireless bliss. Also the Linksys wireless card words at =
LSU with the CISCO AIROCOM access points. The only 'hitch' in operation =
was to get the drivers, which turned out to be a non-event. And then to =
make sure dhcpcd is running. Dhcpcd will use wlan0 as the Linux device =
name. Wireless around Lsu's campus is limited to the Union, Library and =
a couple of other places. I've sat in the middle of the parade ground =
and remained connected.=20
One-other-thing-about-linksys.... My older linksys wired firewall =
required re-flashing the operating system in order to correctly work =
with Cox net's new dhcp scheme.=20
I have not used netgears routers and firewalls, but looking at Netgear =
web page documentation leads me to believe setting up the netgear =
firewall is not that much different from the Linksys. No easier, no =
harder. A basic understanding of networking will help with setting up =
any firewall/router though.=20
