Age is 38 and my first box had 32mg in it and I thought it rocked. Then I upgraded to 64 and it rocked even more. :lol: Now anything less then 128 is too little.

 

A DMZ is demilitarized zone, geek speak for the place, away from your lan, to place things like servers for the outside world. Seen them called as Red (internet) Green (Lan) Orange (DMZ).

 

RAM was to big? Did you try to place a dimm in a simm slot? :wink:

Has any got any good info on shorewall in MNF? I have all the info from shoreall.net but what I would really like is some info on the web interface included in Mandrake. Also, is there a place that explains in simple terms, how to setup a proper port forward using shorewall? I may be missing it but the setup for my port forwards in shorewall have all failed, even though the all follow the same guidelines as the default port openings (outgoing http, ftp, etc). Any ideas would help. Thanks!

That diatribe on grc.com is a pile of crap. Spend some time in the newsgroups there before you buy into that kind of information. That's news.grc.com . The Shields Up test has been used by 16 million users and its limits are clearly set out as far as the number and function of scanned ports is concerned. There are more complete scans at other sites listed at http://balder.prohosting.com/~bud01/scan.html which porvides a list of various sites that offer this service, some for a fee. Here are some others: http://www.sdesign.com/ , and http://www.hackerwhacker.com/ . Nmap is Linux port scanner you can run yourself: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ .

I too am in search of something that will work, is very flexible, and acts as a frontend for IPTables. Once good spot I found that has a list of firewalls available for Linux is

 

www.tucows.com

 

Go into the Linux software, security or internet, you will find a big list of firewalls that can

be tested out.
