Hi
I'm new to Linux (terminally frustrated Windows user) and have recently
installed PClinuxOS on two machines at home. I've set up NFS shared home
directories on both machines, which I can mount and access fine only when
Shorewall is stopped. I've read a few guides on Shorewall configuration,
including those at shorewall.net, and tried everything that made sense, to
no avail - Shorewall blocks the mount requests.
I'm thinking that the problem is with my environment (although it was
working under Windows with File Sharing). I have the two computers attached
via a Netgear 4 port hub. The hub is also attached to a Motorolla Cable
Modem for Internet access. I don't have a domain, (under Windows the sharing
was done via a Workgroup) and the two computers have very different static
IP's assigned by Comcast, my ISP.
The PClinuxOS install automatically set up eth0 and the Internet connections
worked fine. Is there a way to tell Shorewall to allow the loc lan accesses
on the same interface (eth0) as the net? A way to add another interface
(with just the Netgear hub) ?
I have tried using "-" for zone in the interfaces file, and adding
"loc:123.456.789.01" and "net detect" in the hosts file but that results in
a syntax error for the net zone.
If this can't be configured, should I modify my environment? I would like to
keep the seperate IP address scheme for the two computers, (rather than set
up one of them as a "gateway") as this allows Internet access from either
machine without having to turn the other on. (Past hardware problems argue
for keeping the seperation)
My workaround is to just stop Shorewall when I want to use the NFS shares,
which I could live with if I had to.
Any suggestions on changes to try or other sites/forums to visit would be
appreciated.
Thanks for any help - Mike
