Without more information, it is really hard to tell what the problem might be. A good place to start would be a description of the hardware (processor type/speed, amount of memory, network card make and model), the output from
ip -s link and some indication if you're seeing any suspicious messages in /var/log/syslog . I am probably forgetting lots of other helpful stuff that's likely in the "How do I request help?" FAQ at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1891&group_id=13751 Tell us a little more about your setup, and I'm sure someone here will be able to help. --Brad On Fri, 21 Jun 2002 19:13:07 EDT Karl Poglitsch wrote: > Hopefully this isn't a stupid question, but I'm working on setting up a > firewall on my COX cable connection.
