[MLB-WIRELESS] Linux Router problems.

[John McClumpha]

Hi Mark,

Can i suggest using a "ready made" solution such as smoothwall or ipcop?

both linux based (and ipcop is actually based on the smoothwall GPL 
code) and IMHO very good :)

http://www.smoothwall.org
http://www.ipcop.org

I've found that they make setup of this sort of thing *heaps* easier

If you want I can drop a copy of each in to you to save you downloading them
