Securing your workstation with Firestarter
Let the wizard be your guide
Firestarter automatically saves your settings and restarts itself upon reboot when installed from a binary package (RPM or .deb). The installation procedure puts a Firestarter icon in the System Tools menu if you are running GNOME. To launch firestarter in KDE, open a terminal window and type firestarter or create your own menu entry. Launching Firestarter the first time will bring up the first run configuration wizard. In it, select your network adapter. If you have a cable modem or a DSL connection that uses a dynamic IP address, check the box that reads "IP address is assigned via DHCP." Firestarter is now ready to protect your workstation.
