Femme Femme, Do you mean to harden your entire system with Bastille, or just install and configure a firewall? If you're going to do the first then issue this command as root in a terminal: /usr/sbin/InteractiveBastille If it's the second you're looking to do then simply access the Tiny Firewall utility in Mandrake Control Center. This will setup and initialize Bastille Firewall on your system. The two processes are distinctly different and I would strongly caution anyone that using InteractiveBastille to conffigure a firewall is like using a 12guage shotgun to swat a fly. It's not a good idea. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. InteractiveBastille is a very powerful tool and you can literally lock your system down so hard that you'll end up having to reload the thing just to check your email. just a word of caution... -- Mark I suppose I should have a pithy saying here...

Re: [newbie] Connection sharing reconfiguration.
Wei, The easiest way to fix this is to install a proper firewall setup, which is a good move anyway. I found that this went away after I installed Interactive Bastille. Somewhere in the default network setup on LM, IP forwarding gets turned off, probably by the default firewall. If you set up a firewall intentionally, and specify that IP forwarding is to be allowed, this problem is bypassed. There are many firewalls to choose from, but if you just want to share your internet connection and keep the black hats out, Interactive Bastille is easy and teaches you some stuff along the way. (It's on your distro CDs). gShield has also been mentioned as an exceptionally easy one to set up, but I haven't tried that personally.

RE: [newbie] Connection sharing reconfiguration.
I remember someone posted the same problem before. The problem has something to do firewall script or something over writing the connection sharing setting on startup. I cannot remember what the solution was. Try search the mail archive for it.
