If you send a message to me, I might forget about it, or be too busy to respond. If you address your message to the list, there is a much better chance of someone responding to it quickly. Also, a message on the list will be shared by everyone, so that others can learn from the experiences presented. The results will be archived for future network troubleshooters to make use of. > i succeeded partly - (after my first installation those files: > rc.local and rc.firewall had not been there ( /etc/rc.d/.. ) - so i > created them - Most unix distributions have an "rc.local" script, which you can use to customize your system startup, by adding shell commands of your choosing. The "rc.firewall" script is something that many administrators create, because firewalls can be complex, so keeping the firewall configuration separate from the other random things one might find in rc.local, turns out to be a good idea. However, simply creating an "rc.firewall" script will not guarantee that it will be run. You usually have to add a command to rc.local, such as this (which I use): # Set up the firewall if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ] then /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall fi > it executes and wrote that modules have been loaded - ( some error - > as ipx,appletalk- which i am not using ) - The "ifconfig" command tries to load all network protocols that your ethernet interface might want to make use of. You can get rid of those messages by telling the module-loader that those modules will not be used. Edit /etc/modules.conf, and add these lines: alias net-pf-4 off # IPX alias net-pf-5 off # appletalk > after this file was executed I could PING all hosts - but i also tried > telnet ( which was described in the TESTING-Section ) - but TELNET doesn`t > work - i also entered an IP-Address in the browser - but also this failed! I'm not sure what commands you put in your rc.firewall, so I'm not sure what to tell you. > trying this command /sbin/ipfwadm -F -l : ( i got ) > > ports ip destination ports > > all 192.168.0.0/24 any n/a The output of the "list" commands is not complete, unless you add the "-v" option for ipchains, or the "-e" op _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
