Humm. I have a home network using NFS and Samba (whenever I get it running), but I never have such problems, at least with the connections disappearing. At least for NFS, they are always there. I am caused to wonder however, about what you are doing with IP-Tables? On a home network, I don't see any reason to run it, unless you are fire walling the server with it. In that case, I would use another box, maybe a P-90 to be your firewall, and let the home side of the network be open to all. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
