Yes. When I checked the network configuration for eth0, the 2 IP
addresses for their DNS servers that I'd entered, had been changed, to
192.168.1.1, the IP of the ADSL Router.

That works. I will change that in the other boxes (also dual boot),
after I have the Firewall/Router box up and running.
When I did ifconfig -a it came back with inet addr 192.168.1.10
Bcast 192.168.1.255 and Mask 255.255.255.0
When I did nslookup 192.168.1.10 it came back with
server 192.168.1.1 Address 192.168.1.1#53 and
** Server can't find 10.1.168.192.in.addr.arpa NXDOMAIN
I downloaded the lastest versions of Devil-Linux and IPCop this
morning. I think I will try IPCop first, because it can be headless
and has a lot of documentation and other features I like. Devil-Linux
does not require a hard drive, which I believe would be better for
security.
