Hello,

I need some info to setup a Gentoo box as a firewall/router. I'm currently 
running Win95+Winroute here, but I'd like to replace that machine.

What's the configuration for eth0 and eth1 in /etc/conf.d/net? My eth0 goes to 
my home network (192.168.1.) and eth1 goes to my ADSL provider (IP assigned 
via DHCP)

Can someone please check if I'm doing it well?

#/etc/conf.d/net
iface_eth0="192.168.1.254 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
iface_eth1="dhcp"


Is that correct? Will it work? 


Many thank in advance,
Norberto

PS: next step is to setup PPPoE and iptables... Then I can throw away that 
Windows machine!!! :-))

Oh, BTW, if someone knows a HOWTO pppoe/iptables for dummies, please, drop me 
a line. Thanks!
