The Internet connection wizard has always assumed eth0 connects to the Internet. We have had many posts about this with 9.2 and 9.1. This causes problems with shorewall especially on ADSL connections using pppoa where the internet connection is ppp0 and eth0 is usually the local network. I was hoping 10.0 might be a bit smarter. Apparently it isn't :-( The workaround is to edit /etc/shorewall/interfaces by hand to correctly identify the correct interface. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
