Simple needs are really easy to setup, and firehol is capable of setting up a fully-functional router, which is one of the things I use it for. Hi: I tried this after Shorewall gave me some issues. I guess I'm going to ask a newbie question, but so be it. After installation I'm given the following error; # firehol start # Stopping: /etc/default/firehol forbids it. Now I followed along with a firehol config tutorial at; <http://firehol.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html?> and when I list my network interfaces I'm presented with the following; 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fastqlen 1000 link/ether 00:80:c6:f0:53:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 So am I correct in assuming that sit0 is my Internet side, and eth0 is my Home/Lan ? I searched Google for 'sit0' and it appears to be a ipv6 thing -- is that assuption correct ? I have my server in a DMZ through a broadband router/switch. So I assume that eth0 would be my home side. Correct ? Thanks. -- Regards Stephen +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A hundred years from now it is very likely that [of Twain's works] "The Jumping Frog" alone will be remembered. -- Harry Thurston Peck (Editor of "The Bookman"), January 1901. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
