Setting firewall script & server
I have two questions that are driving me crazy.
The first question is that I have a RH8.0 webserver with Apache, MySql and PHP and I wan't to run a firewall script to save me for hackers.
I've read a lot of scripts and tutorials and I note that all the configurations of those scripts are for a pc making the firewall job with normally 2 network cards, one connected to dsl and the other one connected in the local Lan.
The question is if it's possible to run the firewall in the same webserver and with one network card connected to dsl.
There are some examples that could help me?
Tanks.
The second is that I have the webserver configurated with Apache, MySql and PHP and when I start Mozilla to conect to my IP or my hostname the query is solved in กก40 seconds!!, don't you believe that is something wrong?
Now I don't have the connection to dsl, I'm connecting directly to my hostname without connection to internet.
Can this question be solved to be a little bit quickly?
Tanks.
Only a little clarify what is the difference about the "eth0" and "lo" when I type the ifconfig command to my terminal?
Tanks to all!
