All, I have a Redhat 6.1 box connect to the internet using PPPoE over an ADSL line. Outgoing, everything works fine. But incoming (e.g. telnet, ftp, etc.) get stopped. In /var/log/messages is the following: kernel: Packet Log: input DENY ppp0 PROTO=2 a.b.c.d:64123 p.q.r.s:23 L=44 S=0x00 I=50726 FF=0x0000 T=60 SYN (#2) This message repeats until the other end gives up and goes away. I have looked through all of my configurations to see where the DENY is set and cannot find any. I have looked the the PPP Howto and also could not find anything. Any help in pointing me to the right place would be appreciated. Thank You David Upham Nan Pao Information Systems, Inc.
