This describes how I have set up my Personal Telco node, with NoCatAuth.  The firewall is based on a CloneArmy box from FreeGeek which came with Debian Linux a number of services and NoCatAuth installed and partialy configured.

= Hardware =
== Access Point ==
=== D-Link DI-711 Wireless Router ===
This router provides a Wireless networked, bridged to a 100/10 Mbit Ethernet and a 10 Mbit ethernet for connection to a DSL or Cable Modem.  It provides DHCP the local net and NAT(Network Adress Translation) routing to the DSL/Cable modem.

== NoCatAuth Firewall ==
=== Clone Army Box ===
Pentium based PC, two ethernet interfaces, 1GB harddrive.  Running Debian Linux, NoCatAuth, ISC DHCP daemon.

= Configuration =
DI-711 DHCP is disabled and dhcpd is provided by the Firewall.  The Firewall's internal ethernet conection is connected to the internal network of the DI-711.  The     firewall provides DHCP, routing and NAT to the internal LAN.  DNS service is provided by the ISP.

----
It is my intention to describe all the configuration changes from the standard instalations, we will see how well I have succeded.  most(all) of this should apply to any Linux or UNIX running NoCatAuth and DHCP.

= NoAuthCat =
Changes to /usr/local/nocat/nocat.conf from the file delivered with the NoCatAuth distribution.

{{{GatewayMode     Passive}}}

If I read the comments in the config file correctly I should not need this but only Open and Passive seem to work for me.

{{{GatewayLog      /var/log/nocat.log}}}

Log file located with the rest of the log files

{{{HomePage        http://www.personaltelco.net/}}}

Use Personal Telco page

{{{ExternalDevice  eth0}}}

Specify External (internet side) Device

{{{InternalDevice  eth1}}}

What ever you are using for a local network, I just use the 192.168.x.x networks out of habit.

{{{DNSAddr 216.231.41.22}}}

I could probably have run a DNS relay server, but it was just easier to use my ISP's server.

= DHCP =

/etc/dhcpd.conf
