IPCop Dial In Help!!!
 

Ive just installed a new installation of IPCop 1.4.5 and configured it. Now i am trying to make my friend dial in to my network so that he can use my internet on his 56k modem. But i cant figure it out.

Can someone please tell me how i can configure this?

Or give me any documentation that can help me do this.

Thanks

I am not aware of any way to make an ipcop firewal act as a dial-in server.

If IPcop is not able to do this, can you please tell me wat distribution will be able to do this.

It will be running on a:

Pentium 100Mhz
32Mb RAM
2 x 400 hard drives

You might like to look at Gibraltar (Debian based) or Trustix (Redhat based).

Is there any free versions?

I found trustix but its only a trial.

Sorry just one more question do you know where i can download "Red Hat Linux 6.1" if it is free?

Trustix
http://www.trustix.net/download/
http://www.trustix.net/mirrors/

Gibraltar
http://www.gibraltar.at/index.php?op...mid=59&lang=en
and apply for a private license:

Redhat 6.2
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/6.2/en/iso/i386/
(I seem to remember that there was a funny bug with 6.1, or was that 6.0?)

Thanks Heaps..

Would Red Hat 6.2 run on the above machine specs? All i need is to install the console.

Sry, but i tryed downloading the srpms iso and it doesnt work.

Do you know another site for that iso?

Thanks

The SRPMS iso is a 'Source RPM' cd ... this is not what you want ... as you would have to compile _everything_ from scratch.
Try redhat-6.2-i386.iso

If you prefer to build a firewall (with dialin) from scratch I would suggest Debian or FreeBSD rather than (some old) Redhat ! :))
