Hi Everybody I am new to IPTABLES and recently put my debian sarge online with firestarter as the firewall. As soon as i connect the desktop icons are inaccesible and freeze as if SLEEP mode is activated. If i am logging to virtual terminal lot of output starts on the screen and it seems somebody is scanning me. As i am a newbie i am not able to decrypt whats goin on the background. I am posting the output of the dmesg which also flows down on the virtual terminal when i login. Is there a way to stop it. I assume the icons freeze because of this and so i cannot browse the local file system once online.
