Hi, I have an iptables script that works just fine. But when I have to reboot my Linux box it runs the iptables script (it has chkconfig as 2345 08 92). But none of my PCs on the LAN can see the Internet until I do "services iptables restart" then they can. But my Linux box can see the Internet prior to this iptables restart? Any explanation as to why this is so? I have another problem too. I am not sure it is related to iptables. I have iptables on my linux box attached to my LAN. The LAN has 2 PCs a Win98 notebook and a W2K Server PC. The former can ping the gateway IP address, but the latter cannot. The former is 10.0.0.5 and the latter is 10.0.0.6 both within the range of the lansubnet declared in the iptables script (10.0.0.0/8). The W2K Server can FTP to the Linux box only via the internet not directly to the gateway IP (10.0.0.1). I have made sure that packet filtering on the W2K box id OFF. Any ideas on why the W2K PC cannot access any service on ports I have allowed on the Linux box with iptables running when the Win98 notebook can? By the way FORWARD'ed packets are fine for all PCs on the LAN. Regards David Wynter roamware Ltd. (+44) (0) 208 922 7539 B. (+44) (0) 7879 605 706 M. david@roamware.com
