While I do not share this same problem, I think this is an oppurtunity to learn a little bit about application profiling under Debian, especially desktop application profiling. When the obvious solutions fail (such as doing a complete reinstall) I think it would be best to find out exactly where

I would like to expose a web server running on a personal laptop elegantly and securely. This laptop is not always connected at the same point, so a static IP will not do. I am also familiar with dynamic dns however my laptop will sometimes be behind firewalls over which I have no control. A

Using parted without a floppy disk?

I would like to dual boot my machine, and need to exec parted to do this. However, parted isn't on the Debian 3.0 distro CDs that I have, and gnu only provides floppy images - and my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive (nor an IR port...beware, prospective buyers of the Dell 5150!). A bootable

The input chain is for incoming packets. It is unlikely that kazza clients use a special port - they probably take the first one available, just like web clients. If the client does essentially port scanning (to find a good server port), there is little you can at the iptables level. You will
