I swapped in my "log all problems" version of iptables on the F16 box and can see that it is logging errors and I see the following: > > +++ > Aug 11 23:43:43 yoyo kernel: [ 779.725071] <IPTABLES: LOG REJECT> IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:1e:8c:c3:21:d6:08:00 SRC=192.168.2.14 DST=192.168.2.255 LEN=229 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=33554 PROTO=UDP SPT=138 DPT=138 LEN=209 > Aug 11 23:43:48 yoyo kernel: [ 785.386501] <IPTABLES: LOG REJECT> IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:1e:8c:c3:21:d6:08:00 SRC=192.168.2.14 DST=192.168.2.255 LEN=234 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=33555 PROTO=UDP SPT=138 DPT=138 LEN=214 > +++ > > I did a google but this information is pretty much Greek to me so I didn't find anything because I didn't understand how to find something > > My big question is "any suggestions?"
