Of course: The (firewall)server has two network interfaces: eth1 connects
to the local network, 192.168.1.*. It's own IP is 192.168.1.3 (hostname
aluqah). Connected to that network are two computers yet.

To the other interface, eth0, a COM21 cable modem is connected. The IP of
eth0 is 212.127.242.126, MAC=00:05:02:AE:72:35. The cable modem has MAC
00:a0:73:25:12:34.

One thing that you might need to know is that my cable company, or ISP,
misconfigured the ARP cache of their servers, so I am flooded with ARP
requests continiously but they claim that it is normal. When I run iptraf
I see about 2000 hosts within an hour, all from my cable modem network
(212.127.*.*). I only receive some data from them, but I do not send
something back (well, my computer).

I am running 2.4.6-pre3 with iptables. I installed a script that I found
this morning from:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/adsl4linux/ADSL4Linux/ADS
L4Linux/templates/firewall.iptables.devel?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd
.viewcvs-markup

It works well, as it looks, but it is far to big to explain in detail what
it is doing: blocks ports, takes care of trojan attacks, opens serverices,
etc.

With arp -n I only see the macs of my local interfaces.

Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan
