Hello group/Pete I tried that, what i use is RH9.0. With it's iptables installation. Yes as U say there are 3 NICs. When i did what U said and initialized the FW script it says: warning: wiered character in interface 'eth0:1'(no aliases, ! or *) this follows on for all the lines which have the aliased IPs, for eth0:1 and eth2:1. How could i get about doing this ?
