Re: Firewall for use with cable modem?

[Phillip Deackes <gsmh@gmx.co.uk>]

Thanks to all of you who responded to my question about firewalls and
cable modems. I have downloaded Firestarter and it seems to be offering me
reasonable protection. I have it starting up when I log in to X because
when I put it into the startup scripts (either /etc/rc.boot or
/etc/init.d) it starts before ippp0 (my current connection to the Internet
is ISDN, my cable modem is to be installed at the start of January) and
throws up all sorts of problems. Starting it with X is fine, because if I
log out of X the script protecting my box is still effective.
