Hello,
   How do I setup a Linux firewall behind an external ADSL modem.
For example:

ISP gave a public static IP block:  example:  216.129.206.XXX/29
GATEWAY to the ISP router is:  216.138.192.XXX

The external ADSL modem is connected to the ISP successfully with pppoe.

How do I configure the public Interface eth0 on the Linux firewall?
Do you have to use a WAN interface like pppoe on the Linux box?
Could someone give me an example?

Thanks in advance.
