Re:[newbie] ftp for file sharing
Sorry, the bastille firewall IS ON, I tried service bastille-firewall stop and some rules scrolled on the screen = it was working ():-) but after i stopped it, I noticed the following: 1- I lost the connection sharing , the win machine cannot see the internet anymore. 2- I CAN ping 192.168.0.1 = linux machine from w2k !! I also noticed something else ( I noticed this a few days ago ) every time I change the following line in /etc/hosts file : 192.168.0.1 hanan.myisp.comhanan to 192.168.0.1 hanan.homelan.com hanan ( chnage the host nam to reflect the my local lan ) it reverts back to the isp lan ?? does this have to o with DHCP ?? does DHCP run automatically when one sets connection sharing ? If somebody kows about a place to read about this network setting and DHCP by editing the actual files tha need to be edited, I'd like to ge rid of al this GUI confusing settings. for I still dont know WHY does control center BELIEVES that I have eth cards !! when I only have 2 !! - Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: Re:[newbie] ftp for file sharing
OK - a few point I can clarify, although I can't answer all of them. Obviously I can't read iptables settings 'cause I couldn't see any reason why local packets would be rejected. But yes, stopping the firewall will stop your connection sharing. This is not just a firewall to keep things out - it also tells IP where to forward packets. I wonder could you have eth0 listed as a public interface instead of as a trusted interface. I think that your bastille-firewall.cfg file should read: TRUSTED_IFACES=lo eth0 PUBLIC_IFACES=eth1 Perhaps check that first.

Re: Re:[newbie] ftp for file sharing
Oops - forgot to address the DHCP question. I should imagine that your eth1 interface would be set to get its address via DHCP unless you are paying for a permanent address. So this being the case, yes it will mess with your host name.

I also noticed something else ( I noticed this a few days ago ) every time I change the following line in /etc/hosts file : 192.168.0.1 hanan.myisp.comhanan DHCP isn't supposed to affect that IP. That IP is by definition a private network IP. What you might be mising is that you didn't restart your network services after modifying /etc/hosts. A 'kill -1 1' as root should fix that. (Or 'service network restart'). Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
