Nope, just you :-) It's probably not shorewall, as shorewall's policy doesn't change on the fly -- if it's preventing you from doing something, it will always prevent you from doing that thing. You could always verify that with a quick /sbin/service shorewall stop. Intermittent network has a lot of possibilities, and the best way to troubleshoot is to walk up the OSI stack -- first check the physical (very important with wireless, so look at signal strength and noise-to-signal ratio), then look for framing errors in ifconfig's output, then look at higher level functions. You might also look through syslog for error messages from your NIC driver. > Mark > > > ---- > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
