Yeah but where can you get portsentry? I did a urpmi and it said it couldn't locate the package. I have all three disks too. :?

[Guest anon]

Get it at cooker or www.rpmfind.net

Personally i prefer firestarter ( gui )

Just check tips and tricks to see more on it. I rewrote that article with MDK in mind

configure: error: Library requirements (libgnome-2.0 >= 1.108.0 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 1.108.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

 

Any suggestions?

[Guest Maciek]

The scripts has already suggested you to get PKG-Config. Follow the URL you posted and get the software :)

I have an SMC router with a built in firewall, and I have already seen an attempt to enter my home network. I have a dsl connection that is live all the time. I was just reading about portsentry and I understand the setup for a machine, but I want to monitor the router. I think I can do it with portsentry by entering the ip gateway, which side of the firewall do I give for the ip?
