My desk is once again a disaster area as I begin to rebuild a system. I'm going to set up eBox on an old PC to have a dedicated firewall machine rather than just using the firewall included in my wireless router.
I don't think I can disable the firewall in the wireless router so I think I may run into a couple of issues with port forwarding etc but It should be fun to work through them if they do pop up.
Biggest reason for the project: I've never done it before :D

    That sounds stressful, I'll be sure to have a margarita for you..ya know..since you can't drink at work! lol

    @Heather: I'm not at work tonight :D I just have to stay up all night to get back on schedule for when I go in tomorrow. This project should aid that effort. But, by all means, still feel free to have a margarita for me! As for my beverage of choice tonight it will be Russel's Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey. I've never tried it before so when I saw it on the shelf I figured I'd give it a whirl.

    lol gosh..I always get it wrong don't I? Well party on Wayne! Is the whiskey better than the ones you've had before?

    That happens to me all the time. As soon as someone gives me a machine to fix the desk becomes a disaster. I really need to build a workbench...hopefully soon!

    BTW, depending on the router, you can bypass the firewall. I have a second WRT54G running as a wireless app, bypassing the internal firewall. Basically, disable DHCP and use one of the switch ports instead of WAN.
