Just pinging an IP address gets timed out. The windows machine can
only ping the linux machine. When I try to check to see if the
firewall is loading by doing /etc/init.d/firewall as root I get the

if the firewall is loading without errors.   


Well, if you're getting a permissions error as root, there are more
serious problems.  Running just "/etc/init.d/firewall" as root should
simply give you the usage instructions.  There's nothing there that
should generate a permissions error.  Additionally, as root, there's
little you shouldn't have permission to do (if anything).  Specifically,
it should only try to source the firewall.conf file and then echo the
usage instructions:
+ . /etc/firewall.conf
+ echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/firewall 
(start|stop|restart|log|status|panic|debug|panic-debug)'
+ exit 1

The above lines are all that should execute (the parts after the +
symbol).  If you're getting a permissions error, I suspect that
something is wrong with your firewall.conf file.  Could you please
provide a copy of it as an attachment.
 

the route print and the ipconfig /all on the windows machine all
  


This seems to be somewhat incomplete.

 

Here is the attachment of the firewall.conf that is in /etc. The 
sentence about the route print and ipconf. should have said that they 
looked as they should.

I found that /etc/init.d/firewall did no have the permission set for 
user root to exec changed that then did /etc/init.d/firewall start. Here 
is the result which means that it isn't working.
