Depending on your setup (masquerading or not) Make the first line a accept all or if you are masquerading f.e. # ipchains -P forward DENY # ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward from the guide below (I use iptables, so I cannot check the rules) > my first question is: > how can i change the rules in the current chains to let all traffic in and > out ?

I think this is a rather good start. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html And if you cannot get enough or want to know something about iptables look at ( same author) http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides/ > > third question: > how would i go about letting a particular port both in and out, for > example port 1111 ? For each part of the firewall input forward and output this rule should have the port specified and allowed. But remember the firewall script is not like routeing it is not the rule that is the most accurate that determines what is done with your package but the first rule that matches. So it does not only depends on which rule but also where is it placed. > thanks in advance to any one that replys to this > antken Sorry that I didn't give you the exact syntax but I use iptables and makeing a small mistake would give you more trouble as looking the rule op yourself.
