Just install the ipmasq package, and you're basically up and running with a very conservative firewall. It automatically detects which of your interfaces is to the outside world (it even does this with each PPP connect/disconnect!), and configures itself accordingly. A nice piece of work.what recomendations do you have for some one who would like to cluster two computers? I've glanced through the beowulf how to. Is there anything"Debianspecific" I should be aware of? I should add I've never done any clustering before. Thanks to all. DanWell, if you can wait a couple of weeks we are rewriting the ClusterFAQ at http://www.spindl3top.org/index.php?ClusteringIntroduction. that will be specifically targeted at Debian installs. But there are Linux Gatewaying HOWTOs at http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/20010417/nat/NAT-HOWTO.html and http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html... these may be of some help if you just want to directly connect 2 machines via a crossover cable...
To take advantage of such Debianisms, I made a little Debian Beowulf howto at http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debian-howto/ . It's very incomplete, and will probably be folded into something more comprehensive like the Debian Documentation Project network admin guide (linked from the Debian homepage), or the Debian Planet HOWTOs.
