Hello Tom,

I did what you suggested:
a) Does everything work if you "shorewall clear" then run this command?

        iptables -A FORWARD -j TCPMSS --set-mss 1400

   If it doesn't, then the problem has nothing to do with Shorewall
I get an error : "iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615"

What does that mean ? Is my kernel broken ?
OK- googled for that error and found some discussion in
lists.netfilter.org  ...
but, to be honest, I don't understand/know what to do know.


It's an old bug that has been fixed for months that the "Enterprise"
distributions are just now encountering.

At any rate, the command I gave you was incomplete. It should have been:

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --set-mss 1400

Sorry for the confusion,

Tom,

I did shorewall clear and then the command above.
Ipsec-tunnel was running all the time, I did ping from "inside" to "remote" - no replies. But the packets don't go to the ipsec-zone "fil" they are handled in all2all chain.
What can I do to further investigate that setup?
BTW - this morning I had to do a complete restart with the firewall system - a thing I never had to do with shorewall so far. Did not have any error in var/logs/firewall nor in /var/logs/messages, system just did not accept any dns-request, which are just
to be natted and routed to the ISP over there. - Strange -
Could this hickup be the result of my faulty ipsec-setup?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
