First, thanks for taking the time to look. I've been poking at this for almost 2 weeks and am quite stuck. Here's the nutshell version of what I'm trying to do: Client machine has an IP address of 192.168.100.101. The only way I want this client to be able to communicate with machines on the 10.138.x.x network is via HTTPS (443), plus make DNS lookup requests. I don't want PING, or any windows SMB type connections to succeed. Just HTTPS and DNS. Also, the linux box provides dhcp services to the 192.168.200.x network. I think my fundamental understanding of iptables is wrong. I 'think' the INPUT is what's allowed to the local machine (i.e. firewall box) FORWARD is what's passed from NIC to NIC. OUTPUT is what's allowed off the NIC. Would anybody please give me a hand here? I learn quickly by examples. I've poked at a large number of websites, but am not making much headway. Respectfully, John Here's my script as it sits. It's driving me nuts that I can connect via SMB from the clients on the 192 network to windows SMB shares on the 10. network.
