Okay, I have tried for a while now to get firewalling to work properly with linuxconf installed on a machine that I use as a modem/internet-access/router. This is on a RedHat 5.2 system, by the way. I used to simply initiate a ppp connection, set the firewalling rules in my rc.local file, and forget about it - the system would route traffic happily. The firewalling rules I set up were: ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.100.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 After installation of linuxconf 1.13r4, this no longer works. I enabled the dialout module in linuxconf, and can enable a ppp connection manually - but whether I set up firewalling rules in linuxconf, or disable them and set them manually, routing doesn't seem to work at all. This situation is complicated if I enable the on-demand dialout functionality, as then the whole diald layer with the sl0 interface comes into play. I *DO* get the DNS resolved, but mostly because (I believe) my clients just look up the information from the local linuxbox' DNS - which does seem to work fine (tested connectivity and default route, since I can surf on the linuxbox locally). So, if ANYONE has run into this problem before, and knows a solution (preferably a guide through proper configurations for the various linuxconf modules, since I'm *NOT* an expert at this.) Jacques has tried to help me via e-mail, and explain the basic concepts involved - I do grasp the concepts, and I tried for a good week so far to make this work, and figure it out, but at this point I need some help. Mostly, when this is done, I do intend to put together a FAQ/HOWTo for linxuconf since I am sure to to not be the only person with these kind of issues. Any help is appreciated.
