And if you did install one, wouldn't it just be iptables? __________________ Blog - KB5UMQ - Linux User #272983 3 Rules: 1) "It doesn't work..." is simply not useful information. 2) Don't cross post! 3) If you are asking for help, start by telling us your distro/os and version.

On FreeBSD, it'd be ipfw. __________________ Blog - KB5UMQ - Linux User #272983 3 Rules: 1) "It doesn't work..." is simply not useful information. 2) Don't cross post! 3) If you are asking for help, start by telling us your distro/os and version.

After that, just google for iptables+knoppix+firewall and start reading... __________________ Blog - KB5UMQ - Linux User #272983 3 Rules: 1) "It doesn't work..." is simply not useful information. 2) Don't cross post! 3) If you are asking for help, start by telling us your distro/os and version.
