Re: [LARTC] Linux router configuration??

[Derek <derek@traffic-power.com>]

I'll be a tad more helpful, but not much. Setting up a linux firewall/router 
is pretty specific to your network layout/configuration. You probably will be 
better off checking these links and going from there:

General Linux setup/config documentation:
http://www.tldp.org

This document is a bit dated in that it doesnt include iptables as one of the 
firewalling software options, but it still is better than nothing. 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html

The HOWTO at http://www.lartc.org is good too (hehe, had to give kudos)

Hope it helps!
