If I follow the instructions as posted, the firewall will not allow me to
access anything on the internet.

I am running the eiger3beta with PPPoP from Ken.

I was curios as to why my IRC will not work with the current set-up so I
tried Echowall tonight. After 4 hours, still no luck

I made a copy of both sets of firewall rules and since I am new to this, I
am not sure how to read. I can post or place on a web site if that will
help.

It took almost 5 minutes to boot once Echowall started. I would get 

host/network "-j"
host/network "119"
host/network "0"
host/network "0"
host/network "" (9 lines)
host/network "67"
host/network "" (7 lines)
portfw:illegal local address/port spec (over 5 lines)

then it say the following services are running

Nothing would work.

Put original floppy in, reboot and I could get on the internet, FTp, mail,
www ....still no IRC

I then found this in the ipfilter.conf file for the PPPoP image file:

# auth - send a reject packet. You may want to forward this to an internal
box
# x if using IRC.  Here so that a rule above can override
$IPCH -A input -j REJECT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 auth -i $EXTERN_IF

I only have one box so for behind the LRP with a cross-over cable from LRP
to my PC.

Any idea on what and how to write the above file to forward the IDENT
request, so the IRC server will let me connect?

Thanks for any help anyone can share......
