Great! By the way, you should not even need to specify the DNS servers. In the DHCP info your router gives your machine, it will probably list itself as the DNS server. (DHCP does not return just an IP address but also a bunch of other info such as subnet mask and DNS servers.)

Yes. When I checked the network configuration for eth0, the 2 IP addresses for their DNS servers that I'd entered, had been changed, to 192.168.1.1, the IP of the ADSL Router.

The router just forwards DNS requests it gets on to the real DNS servers (it found out those when it itself connected to the ISP).. So don't specify the DNS servers yourself and then you won't have to do anything if the ISP's DNS serves change.

That works. I will change that in the other boxes (also dual boot), after I have the Firewall/Router box up and running.

When I did ifconfig -a it came back with inet addr 192.168.1.10 Bcast 192.168.1.255 and Mask 255.255.255.0

When I did nslookup 192.168.1.10 it came back with server 192.168.1.1 Address 192.168.1.1#53 and ** Server can't find 10.1.168.192.in.addr.arpa NXDOMAIN

I downloaded the lastest versions of Devil-Linux and IPCop this morning. I think I will try IPCop first, because it can be headless and has a lot of documentation and other features I like. Devil-Linux does not require a hard drive, which I believe would be better for security.
