Thanks to someone's suggestions on using iptraf, I found that although I thought I had a fairly safe firewall, SOME (admittedly very rare) netbios packets still get thrown on to the ppp interface. I believe it only happens when someone logs in, or when they search my LAN for active printers etc. I'm not too worried, as this is pretty much normal Windows behaviour. However, it is ofcourse unnecessary for Linux to forward these packets.
The two in question are netbios-ss/tcp and netbios-ns/udp. I *THINK* I can add these rules myself (although an example would be appreciated), BUT, I don't want to detriment my client PCs speed by selecting the wrong option (timeouts etc). Does anyone know what would be better? DENY or DROP?
