Hi Derek,
Misunderstanding...I thanked you for what I thought was a detailed
explanation...now it is beyond detailed for me...at the moment some of
it is a foreign language.
OK, some backfeed...shorewall was *not* installed...I went to webmin and
it told me not installed and the linux firewall also not installed.
I urpmi' shorewall and it was on a contrib site registered in MCC.
What the use of the GUI in MCC is for firewall is now beyond
me...configuring a non-existend firewall..ha-ha?
I also downloaded some pages and a one-on-one examples.
Now it is supposed to function...will try it with that site you gave me.
Kindly if possible...how can I switch that GUI in MCC off.....just to be
sure it does not interfere.
Again thanks, now a least I trust i got something going.
Johan.
