I have the 8.1 powerpack here, and it comes with a install and user manual and a reference manual..
I will have a look in there for the tiny firewall details.. I haven't looked back see your initial question, but you might try looking in /etc/sysconfig/iptables I think that may be where tiny firewall keeps its rules and stuff. I know one thing, for simple readability, ipchains beats the hell out of iptables.. I have still not found a simple script platform like pmfirewall that asks a bunch of questions in a console at install then writes a nice easy to read list of rules, one per line with nice comments on them, closes all the obvious gaps, and is really easy to modify and add to... I have a massive list of rules in my 7.2 box in ipchains and ipmasqadm, and I had the firewall setup to allow different ports open on 7 of my domains being hosted on that box.. Its tough to figure out how I am going to do it easily in iptables. I have a basic script, but nothing that does all that I want yet.. wish someone had written an online ipchains -> iptables script with Javascript or something, that would be very handy. I only just figured out how to do port forwarding with iptables last night.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of J.

I am just not sure what it has left behind, in view of the fact that you have cleaned it out from the usual directories. All I can say is dust off the old 'grep', and start a fine tooth search for any kind of "Tiny" or "firewall" string in any file located in all of the usual directories. BTW what does a "netstat -rn" output look like on your two machines? If you need some assistance with the gateway/router set up, you are welcome to call on me. I have set up this kind of thing before with Samba and name server running on a LAN with W2K. Do let me know what the resolution is to the Tiny (big) headache.... -- J.
