I installed Mandrake 9.0 on a server box I'm putting together, I installed the 
firewall shorewall. Couldn't connect to the ssh server or even ping the box 
(the inability to ping it, I assumed was the result of shorewall).

Reconnected monitor and keyboard to server, server couldn't ping any of the 
other computers (sendmsg not permitted)

So I turned off shorewall and even removed it from startup, can now ping from 
the server to other computers but it cannot be pinged (even ping 127.0.0.1 
doesn't work) or connected to using ssh (sshd is running)

Any idea whats wrong?
