| I don't know much at all about firewalls, but I would assume that if you
| have set up your machine to be a firewall, but have not configured the
| firewall itself, then you would not be able to telnet or ping the
| machine from outside the firewall.

The machine is going to be a firewall, i'm trying :-). I put 2 NIC's in it
and i'm trying to configure it. I still don't get it how the machine knows
what's "outside" and what's "inside" the firewall.

Thank you,
Jacco
