Hi!
I have an Alcatel ADSL modem at home and I use it to connect my Mandrake
7.2 Linux to the Internet. I followed the HOWTO and everything is working
fine.
Now, I want to set up a firewall that will protect my computer in case
somebody penetrates the modem. I have already set up an IP-Chains firewall
to protect me against connecting to TCP ports via the ppp0 interface, but
should I also do it for the "eth0" interface?
Any pointers and guidelines would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish

A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes
what went wrong more quickly.
