Hi, I have Smoothwall gpl 1.0 firewall and behind it a mandrake box and a w***ows xp box (sorry) which I wish to have netmeetings on. I have found out that I need something called h232 but that's all I've found out. Any help would be great but please be gentle with me I can install linux from a disk and use vi and things but I'm not mr techy. Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, At great personal risk of being thrown off the ALUG list as a heretic I too must humble myself and confess my sin of wandering from the pathway of the followers of Tux and admit that I regularly run NetMeeting on a Windoze box behind a Smoothwall 1.0. (Don't worry - ALUGers are usually quite tolerant of our newbie foibles! ;-) To allow your Windoze machine to make OUTGOING NetMeeting calls (haven't yet sussed how to allow incoming ones) you will need to upload the H323 Masquerading Module called ip_masq_h323.o (available from: http://quarkav.com/SmoothWallGPL/static/files/2.2.23/ipv4/ip_masq_h323.o) to your SmoothWall GPL 1.0 /lib/modules/2.2.23/ipv4 directory. Once this has been done, you will then need to modify the /etc/rc.d/rc.network file and add the following line after the last "modprobe" line: /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_h323 Save the file, delete the rc.network~ file (if it is present) and reboot your Smoothie. Once it has rebooted, point your Windoze box browser at your smoothie and have a look at the "Information" page. Scroll down to see the list of Loaded modules, and you should notice that ip_masq_h323 is listed. If this is the case, then the module is loaded, and you are a happy teddy bear! Have fun! Ian.

But... but... but... but... Smoothwall! Fancy supporting the man who wanted to kill ALUG. I guess he's left that project now, but I'd still use IPcop in prefernce until they disown him. Do we have many gnomemeeting users in the group? MJR

I understand shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net)is pretty good (there's a Gentoo package, unlike ipcop) but I've yet to play with it. Any one in ALUG used it yet? So far a handmade iptables script has done what we need, but we're managing more and more machines, meaning more and more similar but different configs, and may need to go the "package" route in the future. Cheers, Laurie. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurie Brown laurie@brownowl.com --------------------------------------------------------------------

It's running happily on my router, as far as I can tell. Text file config, but we're used to that...

Text file config is good because then only the config file changes from installation to installation rather than custom editing the existing fw script. I'm sold: I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Wanted to kill ALUG? Did I miss something, or is this hyperbole? Andrew. -- All views are my own .... who else would want them?

It was split between ALUG, private email and a web site that no longer exists. RM wanted to create a "Southern England LUG" to replace all of the existing LUGs in the south of England (Nottingham down, IIRC). It never came to much, but it's a fun story. Consistent with other tales of RM, too.
Personally we use shorewall, its great! ;o) Nice hardcore text file! You can get a webmin module for iptables, shorewall, simple firewall, ipchains and turtle, if your a bit soft and like webadmin :o) <hehehe> Aside Webmin is great, esp. for those of us who admin a windows network and cant be bothered with ssh (having said that I now have a Linux box and a windies box on my desk)! And also for the soft windows admins who are scared of text files! At home I use a simple masq firewall, 3 lines and protecting me from windoze script kiddies. :o) What more do you want on a 56k connection! hmmmmm, East Anglia for ya! Has anyone ever managed to setup Snort for the IDS side of things, I am really struggling with the whole needing a MySQL db, I come from an MS SQL side of things so I am still a bit soft... :-P Any way, All the best.
