242069 2004-06-05 12:13:00 I have the Smoothwall ISO on CD I burnt a while back, I set up an old box but never followed it thru due to an incompatible USB ADSL modem. Got a ADSL router instead.

I am not sure where it is, but I recall seeing it a while back in my drawer of CDs, let me know if you want it and I hunt it down and post it.

242071 2004-06-05 21:09:00 Another PressF1 put me on to a Bootable BSD-Based Live Firewall that looked really good the other day.

It looked really good, boots from a Floppy or a CD and no HDD is needed.

Its not Linux based, but still a good firewall nevertheless.

...Now if I can just remember the name and URL :-(

(Its not theWall either)


Chill.

242072 2004-06-05 21:13:00 So far little luck Googl'ing,

But what about a Hardened Gentoo installation?

242073 2004-06-05 21:35:00 I am only just getting into linux and i have had a good look at the smoothwall web site and it looks fairly straight forward to install

I do need some help on how to set up win xp home to make this work

cheers

242074 2004-06-05 22:26:00 Hiya Glassman,
I've been going to do exactly the same as you for ages but never got round to it, except I'm going to use an adsl router instead of a dialup for the connection & I'm going to run 6 pc's through it instead of 1.
I sort of know the basics involved & will be getting in to the details & setup this week some time, maybe we can do it together.
I have the latest Smoothwall distro & all the documentation.
I live just down the road from you, so maybe we can get together & help each other out.
The only problem I can see is that you are probably a "Magpie" supporter :-)
Give me a holler @ yllibk@msn.com if you are interested.
Oh, & "GO THE HARLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

242075 2004-06-06 01:57:00 Although there have been a few discussions about it this forum doesn't have very many Smoothwall users that will be able to offer advice. According to Whetu the best place for help is at community.smoothwall.org Susan B (19)

Whoa Dolby, who said anything about doubting your advice? All I was doubting was your ability to be around when it is required. :D
