Personally,
I'd
use
ipfilter
instead
of
ipchains/iptables,
or
what
ever
>they
are
calling
it
this
month.
It
is
much
better
software
and
I
find
it
much
>easier
to
use
and
configure
than
the
other.
It
is
used
on
a
wide
variety
of
>OS's.
However,
what
ever
you
choose
to
use,
it
will
still
be
a
steep
learning
>curve.
You
might
be
better
off
learning
more
about
your
current
firewall
than
>switching
to
something
else.
Since
I
do
know
how
to
set
up
ipfilter,
I
do
>find
it
difficult
using
the
canned
firewall
boxes.
Things
I
could
easily
do
>with
ipfilter
are
usually
a
pain
in
the
neck
or
they
can
not
be
done
at
all
>with
these
other
boxes.
I
hope
this
is
of
some
help.
Thanks for the advice Brent.
