You get a firewall totally under your control that way, too. Whether this is a good thing, is another matter :) > How to do it? Short version: rp-pppoe, iptables and at least two network cards. The longer version (for iptables) is here: http://www.iptables.org/ You'll also want to look at this: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/open_source_rp-pppoe.php iptables is what you use to manipulate linux's packet filtering system (netfilter), and rp-pppoe is Roaring Penguin's application for connecting on adsl. > ------- > > I have a WAG54G, which is very basic as a router and which I want to use as a > bridge, then use a linux box to act as a gateway/firewall/router to my > internal > network. > > /------\ > |\______/| |linux | |~~~~~~~~~| |---------| > |network |<=------=>| |<----->| WAG54G |<-------->| ISP | > |/~~~~~~\| | box | |_________| |---------| > \------/ > > Does anyone have experience with this? I have no experience with that arrangement, myself. I use the Linux box as a gateway/firewall between the internet (separate ADSL modem), wireless and internal ethernet networks. I'm sure others on the list are doing this, however. Which ISP are you using? Some seem to be easier than others to connect to, with Linux. > Can anyone point me to specific resources for this? > > Thanks. > Luke > > > -- > ............._.. > .| .| |.|/.|_ . > .|__.|_|.|\.|_ . > :61 421 276 282: > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
