When you reboot check with iptables -L if your rules are activated, if are difference, check the files for inconsistences: /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Rudolf Ladyzhenskii Sent: Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 3:38 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Iptables startup question Hi, all I have slight problem with Red Hat 9.0. It is running on my Internet gateway machine. If I reboot it, there is no Internet traffic goes through. I have to run: 'service iptables restart' to get it going. The interesting thing is that iptables is running on boot up and it is verified by using 'service iptables status'. But I have to restart it to get working. Thsi problem did not exist while I was running RH 7.2. Now, I have built another machine at work to serve as network gateway. Red Hat 9.0 and I have exactly same problem on it. My guess would be the sequency of services starting. Any ideas?
