Using a Squid proxy and access control lists would be a more reliable solution - that way, you could filter urls insteed of fixed IPs... > I stand by my initial report - with proxying turned on within a Win98SE > client, firewalling does not work. - Does the client (MS Explorer?) *really* use port 80 when a proxy is specified? (This is the port mentioned in you firewal rules.) Normally, port 8080 or 3128 are used. You could try what happens when you issue "telnet 192.168.1.1 80" (or 8080 or 3128) on the Windows Box... - Are you *really* sure there's no proxy running (perhaps installed by default)? Did you check with "netstat -pnl" or similar? Regards, Martin
