Let me try this one: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/bt/etc$ ping neptun.phys.au.dk PING neptun.phys.au.dk (130.225.28.60): 56 data bytes --- neptun.phys.au.dk ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss But this machine is also blocked from mi other local machine.

Sun Mar 2 22:21:49 CET 2008 I can actually log onto neptun. But the problem started by not being able to use the minimo browser. It turns out that it works now! I have no ide why it suddenly works. > > Go your problems away after you flush your packet filter rules? > (Since you are running your own "firewall", I assume you know how to do > that in a safe way w/o compromising your network and leaving all NAT > rules intact) Actually, I do not. The fine thing with Mandriva is that their control center sets up a standard firewall plus dhcp server that takes care of my local network so that I can concentrate on using my machines (until something goes wrong). I did reboot my gateway, but that did not do any good. This was some weeks ago. I have no idea why it suddenly seems to work now. I have done nothing, as far as I know... Thank you, anyway. -- Bjarne _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
