Re: I HAVE NOVELL 5.0 NETWORK AND I WANT 3 COMPUTERS TO ACCESS THE internet. What firewall





Hi There,

Well the first thing is that if you have a way to access the network by getting
around the firewall so does someone else.  Dial in is not going to be very 
secure.
Well if you have 3 computers, unless you have a hub, switch, etc to connect
the 3 machines you will not get all of them on the net.  

The firewall from Linksys is good from what I have heard, the firewall group has
a good things to say about Sonicwall.  That would allow you to not have the
hub also.  I believe that the sonicwall is going to be more secure then Linksys.

Back to the PC Anywhere, you would not use a switch (Firewall) with 
that kind of device  That is mainly for a network connection.  Again if you can 
bypass
the security with a modem, so can anyone also.  NOT a wise idea.    Why do you 
want
to bypass it anyway???

Also one thing I would highly recommand is that you join the firewall list at
[To subscribe, send mail to majordomo@lists.gnac.net with
"subscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]

Follow the instructions on the list when you get the message back.  Also it can 
be
a fairly active list.  So you will get a moderate amount of mail.

Does that help some??  If not ask more questions.
