Hello, I have two computers (that are involved in this problem), phoenix is my Gentoo workstation and desktop-1 is someone else's Windows box. Someone else happens to have a printer and I don't, so, from time to time I use his printer. The printer is shared, obviously, thru SMB (it's a windows box). I configured CUPS to connect to it (I just used the KDE Kcontrol to configure it). My problem is that when I bring up my firewall (a firewall using iptables on phoenix, just protecting phoenix) printing stops working. In fact, all access to desxtop-1 thru smb stops working. The firewall is very simple, a simple stateful all-incomming-closed firewall:
# iptables -vL
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 35510 packets, 16M bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
329K 558M ACCEPT all -- lo any anywhere anywhere
36M 54G ACCEPT all -- any any anywhere anywhere
state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
3 228 ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere
icmp echo-request limit: avg 30/min burst 5
120 7057 ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere
1 60 ACCEPT tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere
tcp dpt:ssh
Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 21M packets, 3426M bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
phoenix ~ #
Do you know why after bringing up this firewall I can't use the printer
anymore and/or how to solve it ?
Thank you.
