My shorewall settings are on the attached file. Please do me a favor. a) Uninstall Shorewall (however your distribution allows you to do that) b) rm -rf /etc/shorewall c) rm -rf /etc/default/shorewall d) Install the shorewall package -- DO NOTHING ELSE other than what I tell you below. e) cd /etc/shorewall f) if you are running Debian or Ubuntu and installed the .deb: cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/one-interface/* . otherwise cp /usr/share/shorewall/Samples/one-interface/* . g) Edit /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and be sure that STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes; if not change it. h) If you are running Debian or Ubuntu, edit /etc/default/shorewall and set startup=1. i) At a root console, type 'shorewall start'. This configuration will allow you unfettered access from your computer to the internet. Now a) cd /etc b) cp -a shorewall shorewall.good c) Now make changes to /etc/shorewall to try to allow the incoming traffic that you want. If you suddenly find that is has all gone to hell, then d) cd /etc f) rm -rf /etc/shorewall g) cp -a /etc/shorewall.save /etc/shorewall h) shorewall restart -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
