[Novices] re: IPCOP firewall

[Mark]

First of all, an update.  The network without IPCOP is back up and
running.  (I hope.)

Mike,
  At home we have a small network consisting of my office stuff (laptop,
desktop, network All-in-One and another print server) on one 54G and the
family stuff (niece's laptop, family desktop, printer, network scanner
and the VoIP box) on older Linksys router/WAP (11b).

The critical part was my office sub-network.

The plans are to bring IPCOP up and then start adding some linux servers
(email, ftp and mysql).

Thanks for the reply,
Mark
