As I have understod things is that a normal user can't do anything with iptables, so you have to be root when starting the connection. But I think you can start the firewall at startup, so it's always runing even when you aren't online. This way you don't have to think about the firewall. //Aho \|||/ (. .) ---------------------------------------------------------------oOoo-ooOo----- E-Mail: tr...@in...
