I'm not absolutely sure, but some of the network configuration can be done during the install, and I'm guessing that iptables might be part of that.
# service iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.
# iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
#

In any case, the qt-setup-firewall script needs a little work. Always has. It assumes that QMT will have a public IP address on the perimeter, which not necessarily the case. I'd hazard to guess that it's not even the most frequent configuration.

Thanks.

However if this is a " minimal " install the I also don’t think the
firewall is even active.

After the minimum install , I run
iptable -L -n
you should see ( similar )

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

I also stopped the firewall to see ( /etc/init.d/iptables stop ),
Then run again, iptables -L -n

I get exactly same as above,
so My theory is the firewall is already off, before running bootstarp 1
and 2 the qt-install

Please correct me if I am wrong

Pretty sure Eric is correct about the firewall,
Always, I instinctively edit the install script ( qt-install ) and put
firewall at the bottom.

I found that out when testing the install a while ago.

I probably should have another look at the scripts, and make them so
they're re-runable. I haven't applied Murphy's law to them yet. ;)
(although I did try to make them as robust as I could on the first draft).

I'm pretty sure the problem is with the firewall. I intend to modify the
firewall script to recognize automatically whether it's on a public or
private address, and set up the rules accordingly.

Anyone want to take a stab at scripting that change? I probably won't
get to it for a few days.
