I make it a practice not to send personal replies to people who require that
I edit their e-mail addresses, so you'll have to wait until the list gets
around to sending this to you (I gather you are subscribed).
You haven't told us enough to allow anyone to give you real help. Pmfirewall
is a setup program (and one I'm not familiar with), but it appears to set up
a standard, ipchains-based firewall. If you want help from the Linux side of
things, you'll need to supply the following:
output of "ifconfig -a" on the router
output of "route -n" on the router
output of "ipchains -L input -n" on the router
output of "ipchains -L output -n" on the router
output of "ipchains -L forward -n" on the router
output of "ipchains -M -L" on the router
It would also help if you provided a problem description with a bit more
technical content than "can not get IE5 to find the hole" and "rebooted and
-----nothing". What did you actually try and how did it actually fail? Is it
a DNS problem, for example, or underlying connectivity? Can you telnet from
the Windows host? Do you have your basic setup on Windows right (addresses,
networks, gateway, nameservers)? You've described the Linux host as a
firewall - is that all it is, or are you running a proxy server on it?
If the problem really is specific to IE5 on Windows, you probably won't find
much help here. For that, you almost surely will have to find a Windows
support group. If it is a more general routing or firewalling problem, then
I or someone else here may be able to help you.
