... I need some basic pointers here. Specifically, I flushed all the rules (iptables -F) and changed the policy of all the builtins to ACCEPT:
# iptables -nL|more 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 Chain all2all (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain common (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain fw2loc (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain fw2net (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain icmpdef (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain loc2fw (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain loc2net (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain logdrop (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain net2all (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain net2fw (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain reject (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain rfc1918 (0 references) target prot opt source destination Chain shorewall (0 references) target prot opt source destination The box should be wide open now. So, why I can I not ping out eth0? # ping 10.1.2.248 PING 10.1.2.248 (10.1.2.248): 56 data bytes # tail syslog Jun 10 22:50:03 yoreach kernel: Shorewall:rfc1918:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:10:5a:e1:e3:8b:00:20:6f:05:f9:6d:08:00 SRC=10.1.2.248 DST=10.1.2.203 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=60 ID=5663 PROTO=TCP SPT=23 DPT=1025 WINDOW=4096 RES=0x00 ACK SYN URGP=0 So, what am I missing? # uname -a Linux yoreach 2.4.18 #1 Sun Apr 21 12:50:34 CEST 2002 i686 unknown -- _________________________________________ Nachman Yaakov Ziskind, EA, LLM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Attorney and Counselor-at-Law http://yankel.com Economic Group Pension Services http://egps.com Actuaries and Employee Benefit Consultants _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
