since I've done my "flushing" all my rules are nice and permissive ;) dimon2 ~ # iptables -t filter -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination dimon2 ~ # iptables -t nat -L Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination So I doubt I need specific rules for "lo" or any other device except for NAT rules to redirect my traffic. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245
