First of all: What services do you intend to provide to your users? I wouldn't recommend to run any other thing than security-related services (pack filter, proxy or kinda like). If u need other services, (e-mail, sql)set it to not trust the firewall machine. But the best would be to build a DMZ.

Hi all, I am going to set up a p133 as a dedicated firewall. I have a couple of PCs networked and I would like to share my cable internet. Is there a concern with using this machine to for other things, such as priner server, sql server, email server? I'm just looking for general information to start my research. This is all pretty new to me. Thanks! Jim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
