Bob,
    I downloaded a firewall script from redhat. However, it tries to do a
modprobe for three modules: ip_masq_ftp.o, ip_masq_irc.o, and
ip_masq_raudio.o. None of them are on my system, and I don't know where to
download them. An internet search gave only an outdated URL. Do you know
where I can download these drivers, or what package they might be part of?
Thanks,
Dave Prentice

Dave, again you are very close to what I have. Your pc6a is equivalent to my
firewall machine. I'm also running dhcp. However I'm running OpenBSD on the
firewall. The internal machines only need to know gateway IP, namely
192.168.0.106
I assume the internal machines' /etc/hosts files are OK since you can ping.
What
about the internal machines' /etc/resolv.conf files. I don't know the name
of
your
internal network. Let's assume it's z.net and your ISP's primary and
secondary
DNS
servers IP addresses are x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y respectively or are you running
your
own nameserver. Your internal machines /etc/resolv.conf files should be

search z.net
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver y.y.y.y

I didn't use Linuxconf as I set everything up when I did the installation.

Are you getting through your firewall. I don't know Linux but in OpenBSD
speak
is ipforwarding turned on. What about ipnat and ipfilters (ipchains in
Linux).
Run
tcpdump on the firewall's internal and external interfaces. See what's
happening.
You'll have to look at the man pages since I'm running OpenBSD which is
probably slightly different.

Finally are you sure you want to run anything on your firewall. I was under
attack
a little wile ago though they seem to have given up.
