At last broadband has hit Longford, uncapped service by the local cable
TV crowd (www.crossan.ie) and I have signed up.
I have an old 486 DX2 66 that I bought back in the day and I share a
house with four people looking to use the connection. I am better of
rolling my own firewall ( mandrake 9.2 with shore wall ) or using some
thing like smooth wall ?
The modem is a usb and ether net jobie ( Terayon Cable Modem (TJ 70x series)
One of the guys in the house wants to connect his x box for on line
gaming. Are there any special considerations that should be taken into
account when setting up the fire wall ??
Thanks
Jason.
