What IMHO you should be asking here is how to get the NAT working with Shorewall. That's really not very hard to setup, and then in the end you'd have a full scale firewall running on your router. That's what people here on the list can help you with. The problem you have right now is off-topic, since it is purely Gentoo related. Maybe you are lucky and someone on the list can help you, but really the better place to ask would be some Gentoo mailing list or forum. > I have compared INPUT FORWARD and OUTPUT chains which are changed with > my previous shorewall configuration and they are the same, so i think > there are some things from shorewall remaining on my system which are > restored when i start my internet conection.

That is a very long thread that at least initially just contains the messages about you trying to get NAT working - if you want someone to help you with completely deinstalling shorewall, then I think you should post links directly to the messages related to that. If you want us to help you fix Shorewall instead, then there's no need for these links anyways, just follow the Shorewall support page instructions. > I loked in your Shorewall Support Guide but my problem doesn't fit in > scheme, so i give the information i have, but when you need anything > further feel free to ask for it! > > The shorewall version which caused this trouble was 3.0.8. > > Below you see my current iptable-rules: > [ cut iptables output ] Your iptables rules don't matter for these problems in any case... :-) ~David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
