------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-06 23:51 ------- I also did a clean install reformatting / and /home. I could not connect to the internet after reboot. I tried to go to MCC and no luck. I knew the problem was with shorewall (I hate that damned firewall, I had problems with it in 9.0) because ifconfig reported eth0 having what looked like a valid IP address I pulled via dhcp. It seems to me that the firewall used prior to shorewall (can't remember the name) was much better. At least the folks at Mandrake knew how to configure it better anyway. In MDK 9.0 I had to go in and specifically open ports to share files over my LAN...In my point of view, why firewall the LAN adapter? I can see firewalling the internet adapter (eth0 in my case) but why the LAN adapter? I also think that shorewall is to blame for my never being able to print to the printer (HP PSC 500, which worked find connected straight to my computer) connected to my fiance's windows box. Sorry to have gone on a rant, Mandrake 9.1 looks awesome. Hope they figure out all of these bugs. Otherwise, I'll stick with 9.0. And I guess since the pachages are frozen, there is no hope they will drop shorewall. I am running a Compaq 5006US, 766 mhz celron (coppermine), 320 MB SDRAM, netgear adapter (natsemi) for the LAN and DLink (rhine) for internet adapter. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: On first boot of rc2 (clean install with partitions reformatted) I was unable to connect to the internet. Went to MCC and did the wizard and still could not connect. On hint from Francisco A. I uninstalled Shorewall and was immediately able to connect. From the logs it appears that shorewall is automatically rejecting packets from the host computer and from the firewall/router. Configuration in MCC does not change anything. So the only obvious solution is uninstall shorewall. This would not be obvious to a complete newbie. They would give up in frustration
