Hiya,
Thanks for the help on the previous supject, but my problems are still not solved :/ I changed to Drake 9.1 because it had a newer Kernal, and I as hoping that some of the conection sharing glitches where solved, but alas they are not. Derek, Yr Idea seemed the best, and I am presuming with "ACCEPT net fw tcp ssh" that will alllow people to SSH in from other ip addy's. The problem I am having is localy on my LAN (allthough that may have solved one future problem as my reason for going to linux is remote configuration when away from the office) I tryed adding "ACCEPT loc fw tcp ssh" Presuming that would allow the local ip range to access the SSH server, but it didnt. Its locally that i am despearing over at the moment, after the changes to shorewall and the restart it accepted the changes to "/etc/shorewall/rules" but it still wouldnt let me SSH in :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Jennings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 26, 2003 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Internet Connection Sharing / SSH / FTP / Shorewall Probelms. > Unfortunately the mandrake firewall GUI s not very smart.
