Re: My firewall issues

2008-08-18 Thread farli
I have a firewall running Mandrake SNF which connects to the internet 
via a dialup connection and connects to three other boxes, one vista, 
one mandrake 2006, and one mandrake 2007, thru a four port hub.

Need any more info?  I am not a genius here, but I know a little bit 
about this internal network of ours.

OK - gathering that the issue is that this system has worked well for
___ amount of days/weeks/months/years and all of a sudden, this is a
problem...

Have you updated or restarted this Mandrake system?

What is output of iptables -L -n on this system ?

Does 'SNF' stand for something important?

Where did the 'firewall' rules/scheme come from? A set of
scripts/instructions from some URL?

All the systems have been restarted since the phone line was repaired.

The iptables command is not found on the firewall system.

SNF stands for Single Network Firewall.

I am not sure how it gets the rules.

if you're not root, then you would have to have the full
path, /sbin/iptables -L -n

Sounds as though 'Single Network Firewall' is a specialized setup which
probably has its own management tools of which I know nothing about.

Re: My firewall issues

2008-08-18 Thread farli
Thank you Craig!

Just talking about the situation made me start rambling around the SNF 
menus and I found a way to set the addresses of the internal network to 
be acceptible as sources.  At least now I can browse the web and even 
find out how much Grampa John is lying about himself and his opponent.

See!  Sometimes just talking about a problem, even if it is only on a 
discussion list, jars something deep in the grey matter and allows the 
problem to be solved!
