The iptable rules from the howto seem to assume that the default policy is set up to the following:
INPUT - DROP FORWARD - DROP OUTPUT - ACCEPT Seeing as I hate assuming what is actually going on, I would add the following lines to the top of the iptables script: iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FILTER DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
