Simple howto for configuring a standalone firewall/router ?

Post by Richard Curt » Thu, 03 Oct 2002 23:14:40



Hi.  I am quite new to linux, and need to configure a standalone
firewall/router box similar to ipcop/smoothwall.

The important thingas that I need to do are :
NAT Masquerading
Firewall
DHCP serving clients with IP and DNS info etc.
DNS forwarding

The reason I cant use IPCOP is that I need to implement traffic
shaping which is far too complex for me to do with a 2.2.19 kernel.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a decent howto which is
not too complex.
Once I have the box up and running, I can then begin to play and learn
how to do the bandwidth management, but cant do that yet as I dont
have the required knowledge to setup and configure the basics.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a simple howto
Richard

1. HowTo: Set up a simple cable modem router?

Dear subscribers.

At home I have a cable modem internet connection and two computers, one of
them running SuSE 7.2. My problem is that my non-service minded internet
service provider's DHCP server doesn't allow each customer to allocate more
than one IP-address. Therefore I would like to set up an internet bridge
using the SuSE machine to allow the other computers to have access to the
internet simultaneously.

My SuSE installation is running kernel v. 2.4. I would like the SuSE machine
to host a DHCP server for the internal network. What I would like to have
help with is some information about how to set up a system as described
above, if there is any HowTo:s to read etc.

Kind regards, Ola Theander
