Comcast Cable Modem install?

[Brad Crotchett]

http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/

They have both how-to's on iptables as well as several scripts people
have posted.  I have Comcast and it is not that difficult, other than
they do run MAC address authentication, so make sure you only connect
the firewall to the cable modem or you will have to work around that. 
Just find a script from that site that is going to do what you need like
ip masquerading etc.  I personally set it up as a script that is run on
bootup.  It flushes all the tables and then loads the firewall I want.

Good luck!
