Hi Jack, I didn't scan from my machine or any other machine on my network. I know that can give bogus results. I had somebody else that's outside my network scan for me. However, even then nothing showed up in /var/log/messages from the scan. I guess it's not really a problem with firestarter. thanks! tyler On Tue, 23 Jul 2002 23:08:34 -0700 Jack Bowling <jb...@sh...> wrote: > ** Reply to message from Tyler Longren <ty...@ca...> on Wed, > 17 Jul 2002 22:18:56 -0500 > > > > Anybody have any ideas? > > > > tyler > > > > On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 23:08:07 -0500 > > Tyler Longren <ty...@ca...> wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I use firestarter for NAT and port forwarding (I forward http > > > packets to a machine in the internal network). > > > > > > I've run many online port scans on my machine, and nothing is ever > > > displayed in the "Firewall hits" tab.
