Chapter 18. Configuring your Internet Connection 1. Network and Internet Connection Management Before connecting to the Internet, you are encouraged to set up a firewall on your machine so as to avoid bad surprises such as intrusions on your system. You can set up a very simple, yet effective, firewall using Drak- Firewall. Please refer to Section 3, Securing your Internet Access via DrakFirewall [323] for more information. The drakconnect set of tools allows you to easily configure your network access, whether it be to the Internet or to a local network. Open Mandriva Linux Control Center and select the Network & Internet section to access drakconnect tools. A view of the main interface is shown in Figure 18.1, DrakConnect Tools [254]. The Internet connection sharing tool is described in Section 2, Internet Connection Sharing [265].
