i just had mine set up last week thru Roseville...
it works with linux (RH6.1), no problems....yes, the service is a bit
flakey....sometimes it takes 3-5 minutes
to resolve....other times i have downloads stalling and have to start
over....
on a similar note....
i just set up ip masquerading....what ipfwadm switches are necessary for
good security?
i currently run:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -p deny
also, do i have the correct command line order?
thanks!
