This is default for Dachstein. If you need to login, send a certain "client-name/identifier" such as a MAC address or computername, further configuration will be needed. You don't say this is needed, so I'm assuming it doesn't. > 2. if i set up my cable connection with static settings i cannot > ping anything outside ( on the web ) how can i disable/re-configure > ipchains to allow all traffic in all directions?

Check out the FAQ: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1418&group_id=13751 other FAQ's explain the configuration of LEAF in detail. These docs are quite complete. Charles S's site will have any modules you might need if they are not on the disk itself. > 3. and finally, how would i go about setting up ipchains to allow > trafic from inside to outside on certain ports and ip addresses? This is setup for you automagically in Dachstein. You shouldn't need to change anything for this to happen if your hardware is setup properly. The following FAQ explains any information to help you get some useful information to us if the relevent FAQ's don't get you going. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1891&group_id=13751 > i am using the latest version of the dachstein image I hope this helps, -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
