I know, anyone who can get 9.0 on a P133 probably knows this, but I have had to configure shorewall with MCC on every install or it won't let anything out or in. I don't know the exact settings that work the magic cause I always go and change a few defaults and then internet connection and lan are functioning. If you are using text only someone else will need to jump in here. Hey, Civileme nice to see you back on the newbie circuit helping out us perenial dummies. : ) HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
