When I rebooted the PC it came up with lots of error saying that device tun0 did not exist. I had a look and it doesn't, it only seems to appear after you use ppp to dial up the net then it is there for good until the next reboot. I am moving ISP and getting a cable line in soon, so presumably I can change the tun's to the dev name of the Ethernet cards and this will enable all the PC's on my LAN to talk to the internet. Also, I was reading the rc.firewall file and it has loads of different lines in it. Am I best to rem all these out and put my own in or will the external file I have created work and overwrite the default rules.
