Hello All, I am running Redhat 7.3 and installed iptables from the iptables-1.2.5-3.i386.rpm found on ftp.redhat.com . The problem I am having is that I can't seem to DROP connections at all. I am using the following syntax $IPTABLES -A INPUT -s ip.address.he.re -j DROP Did I just newb something up somewhere? Any help at all? Thanks in advance, Ben Prince Cyber Pixels Systems Administrator ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
