I'm having some interesting happenings using the Firewall utility in MCC. I'm using a laptop that has both a wireless card, as well as a wired NIC. My wireless works just fine until I try to turn on the firewall. As soon as I do, the firewall effectively blocks all connections with my wireless card. The only way I can access the outside world with the firewall on is by connecting to a wired network. Running "ifconfig" shows that my wireless card is "eth1" and my NIC is "eth0". Any suggestions on what I can do to get the firewall to play nicely with my wireless card?
Thanks!

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.
