As far as the rules go, they would be written: ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -i eth0 -s 0/0 -d $IPX/32 500 ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -i eth0 -s $IPX/32 500 -d 0/0 and you might be able to specify -p tcp if it only uses that. Just substitute your external IP address for the $IPX. matt _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
