If
you are using 2.2 kernel, look for documentation on
'ipchains'. If you are using 2.4 kernel, look for documentation on
'iptables' (or 'netfilters'). You may find examples - this being an easy
setup.

gateway
i need to set up a gateway for my home computer
and id like to do with debian . the machine i have is:
pII 450 8mb gfx card, 10gb disk.
i would like it set up as a firewall initially,
and eventually a web server and samba etc, incluyding basic workstation stuff
like x / gnome etc....
question is, i need someone to help me through
the install (what options do i select) and initial firewall setup (so the
computer that im on now can access the net through hte gateway machine and
download tutorials etc on getting the rest of it working)...... oinly basic
stuff. i have a cable connection in the pc which needs to be shared with
around 6 computers. can anyone help? like, with EXACTLY what i have to do
during install --> basic setup. preferably with as little command lines as
possible, since i am for all purpose a relative debian noob.
i will be using the latest version
cheers
james
