[Gllug] Setting up SW firewall (Was Sharing NTL broadband usingweedless router)

[Benjamin Edwards]

My preference would of been IPCop but I dont want to have to use another
machene.  The room I am in is not that big and the noise will keep me
awake.  Eventualy I may get as Firmware firewall router but for the mean
time I will have to set the firewall up on the main debian box.

I would recommend using shorewall. It was easy to set up and appears
to be very well thought out. It also has a webmin module, although
personally i've never used it.
