Hello Ross, You can setup your computer as firewall using IPTABLES or IPCHAINS, your mandrake 8.2 use IPTABLES, but you can use ipchains in your kernel 2.4.18x,. You should read ipchains manual or iptables manual. or you can visit this web site now. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/Networks/Firewall_Installation.html I hope you find the solution for your linux firewall. Thankyou. I'm sorry if I can write in this email, because is too long to write here. Sorry my english,...
