Hi,I'm pretty sure you have a firewall, but I haven't tried Kenneth's image personally, and you'll want to verify this for yourself anyway.
Thanks for your site! We now have an LRP box acting as a gateway to our
Telstra ADSL line - but I have a question!
First I should tell you that we're using the Eigerstein2Beta image with
pppoe contributed by Kenneth Hadley (I tried contacting him at the link
but it didn't work). I installed the module for our intel
etherexpresspro100 cards and configured the adsl and left it at that. Now
here's my question: do we actually have a firewall running? I did NOT
select firewall in the adsl-setup program because I assumed that the LEAF
disk image already had one configured. I know all the necessary software
is there (ipchains etc) but I'd like to know whether or not firewalling is
active or not, and Kenneth didn't really mention it in his very short
instruction file. (As a matter of fact I had to go through several other
files to know what to do, but his image was the only one that actually
worked!) I'd rather not select firewalling from the adsl-setup program
if possible as I've had trouble connecting when it has been turned on. If
you could clarify this (even with a yes or no) I would be very grateful.
Run "net ipfilter list" at the command line, and you'll get a list of the currently installed IPChains rules, along with currently implemented port-forwarding settings. This will verify you have a firewall running, and allow you to analyze it's characteristics, to see if it is doing what you want.
Alternatively, you can directly run "ipchains -nvL", and get just the firewall rules, without the port-forwarding information.
