Hi Jim -- You said: > A project I would like to work on is building an intranet server. You might want to check out ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/IP-Masquerade The critical section is 3.1, where you are told what to turn on when you compile the kernel. Not to ruin the suspense, but all you have to do is say yes to: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL CONFIG_MODULES CONFIG_NET CONFIG_FIREWALL CONFIG_INET CONFIG_IP_FORWARD CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG CONFIG_DUMMY Then, if you've already got your intranet working, and if you've got it set up so that your Linux box is the gateway, you're done. (But don't check that things are working by using ping from an inside-your-network host to an outside-your-network host, because ping won't work, or so the docs say.) You might also want to see this recent article in SysAdmin about Firewalls: http://www.reseau.nl/articles/rdpub/firewall/article.html HTH, Susan Kleinmann
