AHAAA i found the solution!! Error scenario: Internet Connection Sharing (which can be configured from the Mandrake Control Center) will be setup correctly, but does not work after rebooting the system. Why: The default firewall configuration flushes the forwarding rules set up at the beginning of the boot. It happens only if you did not setup the Tiny Firewall from the Mandrake Control Center. Solution: Because the default firewall configuration does nothing but remove existing rules, you can simply remove the instructions to do this by removing, as root, the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file ("rm /etc/sysconfig/iptables"). If you have configured the Tiny Firewall, this problem will not affect your system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pascal Goguey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Newbie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 5:39 PM Subject: [newbie] Web sharing does not survive a reboot.
