Actually, that's not QUITE true, perhaps her ISP uses some transparent proxying that ZA blocks. I have seen cases where firewalls DO cause problems with certain ISPs. Although, that is not her problem, that is the ISP's. Or, perhaps they have a very non-standard way of giving her internet access, perhaps using some sort of virtual networking, automatically set up at their end. If this is the case, then 9 times out of 10, any firewall would break it. I could get quite technical, in the ways it could happen.. But there is no time, nor is this the proper place. However, to help you with your problem, I would suggest that you, at the (EEK!!) command line, su to root, type ipchains -F, then ipchains -L and see what the default policies are.. INPUT and OUTPUT should be allowed.. If they are, then we have another problem, but it's a start. -- Chuck Burns, Jr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----------===========----------- Life is full of concepts that are poorly defined.
