My 2 cents I identify in my firewall script my dsl interface by it's interface name. Nothin else comes accross that way. Who cares of it's IP ? Tell me if I'm wrong.

You just need to capture your dynamically assigned IP address at iptables startup time and use it in your rules. I have the following variable assignment in my RH 7.3 startup sdript (all one line): INET_IP=`ifconfig eth1 | grep 'inet addr' | awk -F":" '{print $2}' | sed 's/ Bcast//'` Then just use $INET_IP in your rules. -- Tim Evans, TKEvans.com, Inc. | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@xxxxxxxxxxx | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ |
