Shorewall users - Mar 2005 - farpd with shorewall

Hi,

Currently I am looking for possibility to have a
no-config network enviroment, where in this local area
network, we don''t need to set any ip to a computer, it
doesn''t matter the computer already have a fixed
ip/sm/gw (even doesn''t belong to the enviroment). When
ever a browser is ''clicked'', the computer will able to
get connected to the internet.

I am looking into using farpd (in debian),- farpd
function as answering all unanswered arp request.

With farpd running along with shorewall, I am looking
into comming up with the solution on the no-config
problem that I want to have.

If anyone have an idea how the rules going to be or
any patch I need to apply, please advice me.

-ps: In my enviroment - I am not looking into dhcp on
the client side - No configuration needed on the
client PC.

Thank you.

Shorewall doesn''t support this environment and never will -- it breaks
so many principles of IPv4 addressing and routing that any software that
supports it has to be a kludgy mess.
