You may have to go in and disable smoothwall to begin with. I found that on some installs it starts up automatically and unless you use MCC (Mandrake Control Center) and do a run through of the configuration, you don't even have to change anything, just run through it, it will block internet access. So open it for configuration or turn it off and see if you can then connect. HTH Dennis M.I had the same problem which I fixed by downloading the 'one-interface' file from smoothwall web site and decompress the archive into a tmp directory. Then you have change to that directory and edit the 'interface' file. I had to change the line at the bottom of the file to define the internet connection as using ppp0 and not eth0. Then I copied all of the files from the download archive to /etc/shorewall. Worked like a charm with no further problems.

Subject: [newbie] Unable to surf and do e-mail
Hello,
I have Mandrake 9.0 Power Pack (boxed set) It installed without a hitch.
I was able to connect to my ISP and surf and do e-mail. When I was done,
I disconnected from my ISP. When I went back on-line, nothing. Mandrake
would connect to my ISP, but that's all. I can't surf or do e-mail. I
did not change any settings or anything. Now I am using SuSE to write
this message. I would really like to go back to Mandrake, but not if I
can't use the web or e-mail. Anybody have a solution??
HTH Graham
