It ain't so. I have done this a couple locations were I walked in, plopped a firewall in place, plugged it into the local LAN and connected to the Internet. Plopped is not the right word but there a number of products that I have seen that would allow connection to the Internet with out modifications to the desktop. The key feature would be "Multiple Address Translation". Nick G.

Got pulled into as a result of 'centralizing' our computer/technology staff and creation of a helpdesk. The upshot is this. We have been apprised by one of the staff (Originally selected installation/Firewall) and was told that every device behind the firewall would have to 'be touched' for anything to work. It almost sounds like a complete rework of the network setup/standard. We were told that all IP addresses would have to be changed. Somehow I get the impression that this is the installers idea, and I'm not quite willing to by into it. I feel that it should be possible to 'plug-in' any properly configured firewall (with the exception of the proxies) and not have to reconfigure machines. Am I wrong?
