I've turned off shorewall on the mandrake box (I'm behind a smoothwall box for net access), and access has returned. I'm not sure how it even started to get in the way. Any ideas?
Apologies for the rapid posts - I've got parent's brain at the moment (both kids waking in the middle of the night %) and parent's time (bits here and there). I'll try to be more complete and clearer in my posts :) I'll post the outcome of entering the lines of code in the xfree86-4 file. -----Original Message----- From: James Gregory [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 6 October 2004 3:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SLUG] Graphic tablet - 'found' driver ?needhelpunderstanding:) On Wed, 2004-10-06 at 15:28 +1000, Elliott-Brennan wrote: > I can't turn off the smoothwall, as that provides access - when it's > off, there's no access to the net. I didn't realise it was a separate machine.

I assume 192.168.0.1 is your smoothwall machine? can you ping it? run "ping 192.168.0.1" from a terminal.
