I played around with pump and dhcpd, but I'm too stupid or lazy to get them to work. I almost bought one of those little dedicated switch/fw boxes, but decided to try smoothwall. 10 minutes later, my comcast dhcp worked, I had a caching DNS, I have snort running, I've got my own internel dhcp giving out addresses so I never play run-around-the-network again. This is GREAT! Note: You MUST have ide hard drive. And a bootable IDE cd is helpful.

I actually initially set it up dhcp...so it was just a matter of resetting the dns lookup on all the internal machines...since I don't do dhcp internally... of course..the first round I did with an incorrect first quad..and cursed when it didn't work...typical ID10t error.... How bout it...I could use 4 p2 class machines You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

I just started doin it whilst I completely rebuild my box with my public interface in it. I gonna build a Linux machine myself All from source the "old-way". Put another drive in an exisitng machine get a skeleton system on it to boot in a different machine, then D/L everything and build all the stuff I want... no predefined distro, no dealing with things someone else wanted to do a certain way, Nope, Ima gonna follow the LSB as closely as I possibly can. Gonna be a stripped-down/full-featured (a contradiction maybe???) as possible. Probably Sym-Link Hell... Sorry, I just gotta do it again... been a few years since I dun it... WOW, can't actually remember the last machine I did that way. scratches head hmmmmm thinks thinks thinks sniff sniff Is that wood burning???? Nope that info is gone... Maybe I shouldn't do that... `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!` In 2002, everyone will discover that everyone else is using linux. Linux: Good, fast AND cheap.
