I have tried to use the iptables-save command and I see that the rules are transferred to the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. However, when I restart the system, I cannot access the Internet from the inside client machines as if the ip_forward does not seem to start. I have to either run my filter script again (this is the one used to save the configuration) or restart ip_forward. does anyone know if this is a bug? I am using the iptables 1.2.4 and the 2.4.9 kernel.
Or is there anyway to create a "batch" file that can be clicked on from the desktop? I am new to Linux.

Hiya, You can setup your machine to be a router as a 'firewall' using the iptables/ipchains setup. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/ http://www.idg.net/english/crd_iptables_697342.html Have fun :) Re, Al. > -----Original Message----- > From: Giri Sandeep [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 23 April 2002 10:53 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Router as well as Firewall. > > > Hi! > Is it possible to run my linux box as router as well as Firewall? > Please help me out as I am lttle new to the linux world. > Thanks. > Sincerely, > > *************************|<<---/\--->>|*********************** > ************ > Sandeep Giri | > B.E IV Chemical | For finding anything > your need two things: > Indian Institute of Technology| 1.
