I'm assuming your eth0 interface doesn't > have a 127.0.0.0/24 address - that is the loopback normally. This one actually blocked me off from accessing the Internet altogether so I had to turn the rule off. No, my eth0 doesn't have 127.0.0.0/24 address (to my best knowledge that is). My IP address is assigned through DHCP periodically (I'm using cable connection). Sorry if I sound as if I have no idea what's going on, I'm learning as I go along.. Thanks for your help though Nikolai
