[Shorewall-users] Problem with /etc/shorewall/providers - GATEWAY DETECT

[Child f. K. <chi...@ho...>]

Hi all.

(this is my first post, pls inform me if anything is missing)

The joint file (trace.gz) contains all the information needed to let you 
help me.
So pls take a look at it.

To put you in context, heres a brief description of my problem:

-------

My problem concerns the /etc/shorewall/providers file.

I have a 3 Interfaces setup, (LAN(eth0), ISP1(ppp0) and ISP2(eth2))

If I boot my system with the loding of the interfaces in this order:

LAN(eth0)
ISP2(eth2)
ISP1(ppp0)   <---- Impose its Default Gateway.

Then when shorewall starts, I get this error:

ERROR: Unable to detect the gateway through interface eth2


But if I change the order at boot:

LAN(eth0)
ISP1(ppp0)
ISP2(eth2)   <---- Impose its Default Gateway.

Then no errors.


Why is this a problem ?
How to fix this ?

Thx
