ok.. plz find the screenshot of the smoothwall ppp settings page.

is there no body to help me out in this plz!!!

not many users use a linux based Open source web based firewall.try at the smoothwall forums & you should be able to get the answer.if still no luck then my suggestion is use a much more recognized/supported firewall like comodo pro(which is also free) & is one of the best firewall available today.

thanks for the suggestion. i will try Comodo. But just one question plz... does it support more than 10 clients? b'cause i have to manage over 100 systems through the firewall.

i am not sure but to manage 100 computers through firewall you must install the firewall on a central server through which rest of the computer connects to net.for over a 100 systems network level firewalls are good but best solution is to use a LINUX PC with correctly configured IP tables.for such a big network i think you should consult some professional network security counsulting firm.
