Just a quick question
Does anyone have a recommendation on gui to to use for network card management for some simplicity.

Ex:
Pc has 3 network cards needing different rules like eth1 can talk to eth2 but not to eth0

I am playing with Gentoo and i know names of very few apps

Actually there are tons of them, from student projects all the way through commercial support.

The most popular are:

http://pcxfirewall.sourceforge.net/
http://www.fx.dk/firewall/linux.html

But thats not even a scratch on whats out there.

Probably the best results would be putting together a clever search string at ask.slashdot.org to see whats currently got people going.
