Your changes only affect the interfaces that have been set up, and you probably haven't set up ppp0. Please don't disable the firewall, rather learn how to use it. You'll need to edit:
/etc/shorewall/interfaces -- define the interfaces and basic characteristics like addressing, routing. /etc/shorewall/zones -- define the networks attached to interfaces. /etc/shorewall/policy -- define high-level policy (accept from here to there and deny from there to somewhere else) /etc/shorewall/rules -- define exceptions to policy (deny ftp from here to there and accept ssh from there to somewhere else) Linux's networking capability is an unheralded secret... with the 2.4 kernel it is unmatched in quality by anything in the commercial networking world. You can do things with a good PC and Linux that Cisco simply can't do or would charge $50K for. With this kind of power comes some learning curve, though. You might look into Gshield -- not sure if it's any better than drakfirewall at configuring multiple external interfaces, but a lot of people on the list seem to like it.
