B Bobo, RELATED,ESTABLISHED are allowed, but you won't see them just looking at the primary chains. Either do: $ sudo iptables -L -n -v
or: $ sudo ufw show raw # in ufw 0.27 and later It seems what is happening is that you enabled the firewall while network activity was happening, so the return packets are getting dropped. The samba packets (138) should also be dropped as noisy services. You didn't mention the ufw version (ufw --version), but in 0.30pre1 (from Lucid) you can see the rules to drop noisy samba in /etc/ufw/after.rules. -- Enabling firewall with the default rules breaks mintUpdate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gufw Developers, which is the registrant for Gufw. Status in Gufw: New Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: Triaged Status in ufw - Uncomplicated Firewall: New Status in “gui-ufw” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In Mint 8 Helena, enabling the firewall by clicking the Enabled button in the Firewall dialog creates a very odd set of default rules that over-cautiously blocks input packets with no allowance being made for RELATED,EXISTING connections. This is undesirable and has several consequences - for example, it completely breaks mintUpdate which can no longer receive data from Canonical's servers on port 80: [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:29:aa:6b:13:ca:00:21:1b:52:ef:b0:a7:00 SRC=91.189.88.46 DST=192.168.50.8 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=55764 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=32948 WINDOW=1024 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gufw-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gufw-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
