It seems I should be able to tie the XP box5 into one of the four remaining ethernet ports on the switch and get both a route to the internet and between boxes via Samba. Before embarking on that effort I would like more knowledgeable comment however. I'm probably getting in over my head but I usually manage to muddle through such things eventually if they can be done.You could do that and it would probably work. I personally prefer to have my Windows boxes behind a Linux firewall, which is why I go for the two-interface approach. Firestarter is simpler to use, tells what it has blocked and allows ports to be opened in response to it's log. It was one less thing to learn I guess, the path of least resistance ...I have been using Firestarter to setup the firewall for some time but could probably manage with Shorewall if necessary.I can't compare the two really; I've never used Firestarter but am very happy with Shorewall. Paul. Thanks for your help. Bob Goodwin |
