Ok, I want to set up a dedicated firewall for my network but I am having trouble understanding how.
Let's say I install astaro on one of my old machines with 2 NICs, then I would connect the default Gateway (A cable router) to one and a computer I want protected to the other. So far so good right?
Ok, now is the part I am confused on, what next? Do I configure the LAN properties and set the default gateway IP Address to the firewall's IP Address or leave it as the default gateway's IP Adsress?
What I am asking is how do I configure windows xp to connect to the internet through the firewall? Sorry I am still a noob at networking and wanted to do this to help further my knowledge...Also wth is a DMZ? Any help is greatly appreciated, and Thanks in advance! [:)]
