How do you get it to work correctly with two ethernet cards?
It only supports one local network card which make it useless
as a router. I need to connect both computers to the internet,
not just one and I have no interest in buying an external router.
SuSE firewall has no problem with setting different ethernet card.
It doesn't set the routing correctly but that fixable. For firestarter
if you stipulate more than one ethernet card it doesn't work.
With SuSE I was able to setup 2 ethernet cards and my ppp0 connection
on the modem and everything works fine. I would like to move to RedHat
but so far I haven't got the firestarter to work and haven't had time
to look into it. It looks like I'll have to go thru the script and
learn how it works and then fix it.
As I search thru the net it seems that most people use one ethernet
card for the network and one ethernet card for the internet. This is
strange considering that around here it's not even an option and no
one in my town uses anything else than a 56k or slower modem.
Is it it true for big city folks or is it just that the bulk of the
developper think that everybody has a T1 or cable internet connection?
