Re: [OT] Smoothwall question

["Matthew Miles" <m_miles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Alex!

A couple of very useful links.  I am still having no joy with
setting up a NPN for my laptop...  IPCop seems to only like static
IP addresses...

Oh well, aat least the firewall side of things is better than my old
netgear box.  It appears to work with dual processor proliants as
well - bonus!  Apparently this is considered overkill! :)
