The Firewall GUI in MCC has a habit of getting the interfaces to the internet and the local network back to front. Take a look at /etc/shorewall/interfaces that file decides which interface is which. /etc/shorewall/policy determines how to treat packets coming from each interface. /etc/shorewall/rules defines the 'exceptions' to the general policy. /etc/shorewall/masq defines internet connection sharing (masquerading) After making any change 'shorewall restart' See www.shorewall.net for detailed documentation.
