Junior,

Are you familiar with IPChains? Which Linux OS are you running? Have you ever compiled a Linux Kernel before? We will have some fun with this one!

Talk to you soon.

Hi,

What does your Linux machine have to do?

Does it have to act as DNS, Webserver, ...?

Cheers,

Dieter Degrendele

checkout http://www.linuxdocs.org/

you will find several HOWTO's there, including a Firewall-howto, networking-howto, etc...

Have fun learning Linux. You will have to read a lot, but the reward afterwards will be very satisfying !

Just make sure you read the how-to's on the how-to's.
They are not real newbie friendly I found out and assume you know more than you and I probably do.

Hi Juniur
Please read the Home-networking-mini-Howto in your Redhat7.0 doc CD (if you have). You need to have two NIC on your linux box. It is a matter of 10min setting. First time you might have some problem. Recently I have done this successfully.
