[aclug-L] Re: Shutting down linux from X

[Anne McCadden <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

I had a linux firewall that was using one IP address.  When it showed up 
on their scans that I wasn't actively using the internet, I was getting 
bumped off.  I kept having to reboot my linux firewall everytime I 
wanted to check a web page or my email.  I was getting tired of that 
crap.  Now that I am using  a SMC router/firewall, I'm not getting 
bumped off, but now  I am using more than on IP address.  I guess I will 
be redoing my network again.  ~Anne
