Christophe, check my reponse to Aron just above this one. It explains a bit more as to whats going on. In brief, if the firewall is turned off, then the inet connections become inoperable. When it is turned on things work. Thats a feature and "not" a bug. If this is a workstation behind an already configured firewall, then just allow everything. If not, then you'll have to configure some sort of rudamentary firewall. If you've got no services running other then maybe ssh to this machine, then when you turn the firewall on open the ports for the service you're running. Thats really all there is to it. I would suggest reading up on IP Tables a bit so you've got some idea of whats going on as opposed to relying solely a GUI config wizard. If you can find the packages try installing Bastille on your system. Its probably the easiest out there to configure, and once its done you just let it alone. -- Mark "If you have found a very wise man, then you've found a man that at one time was an idiot and lived long enough to learn from his own stupidity."
