Thanks a lot I disabled power management and it works
greatly.
Now I tried to use the stronger security firewall
script but it can't determine my IP external address.
The problem seems to be on that line
EXTIP="`$IFCONFIG $EXTIF | $GREP 'inet addr' | $AWK
'{print $2}' | \
$SED -e 's/.*://'`"
However I'm not sure to understand everything that
goes on there :-)
I entered the IP address manually and the script
works, but I don't want to change the script every
time my IP changes :-)
I also get a little error in the script
- Loading OUTPUT rulesets
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger: -d: command not
found
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger: -d: command not
found
- Loading FORWARD rulesets
Finally is there an Howto or a good resource about
IPTABLES? I find much more documentation about
IPCHAINS and IPFWADM.
Thanks in advance
