No. I know how to use iptables/ipchains and certainly not lazy. I'm a control freak, so I lock/secure the box, remove unnecessary scripts, do optimizations, etc. So it will take me a few hours. Minimal config.... yes, it can be done in less than 30 minutes. > MSN messenger didn't worked for you, even CS? > Its the way how you configure > your rules. you might have forgot to install > patch like H.323 or the likes. Reread my e-mail again fellow list member, MSN messenger works, only the voice part does not work. And No, it's not H.323, you need the Linux Upnp Internet Gateway device (http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net) support. CS works too, it's just slow. >> You must be new here... > > You're not a keen observer. Sorry if you are offended, but two points I would like to raise: 1. The original post was asking for a hardware firewall/router recommendation. I gave him an answer. You're original post was about you stating Linux firewall is better. Pls. tell that to the original poster, not me. 2. I did not want an opinion for a Linux Firewall. Please re-read my e-mail. I was not asking for it. have been that route before, and a Linux firewall does not meet my requirements for now. well, If I have lots of time in my hands, then Linux fits my needs for a firewall. regards, Andre Varon http://andre.lasaltech.com -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
