Does the ppp setup tool or script you used to setup ppp allow you to run a firewall script after ppp starts? Somewhere in your /etc/ppp/[scripts] the firewall (iptables) would have to initiated. Hey, since you changed net.ipv4.ip_forward =1 did you restart network? service network restart or perhaps this needs to be started with the firewall script when using dialup? Maybe this give you some ideas as to what's wrong. jay -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
