Gentlemen (Navid and Tom), I have tried to connect to my provider with a direct connection to the cable modem, no other connections present; NOT SUCCESSFUL... I did notice that Shorewall was still listed in a ps display, even though I had set startup=0 in /etc/default/shorewall. Is there something else I must do to insure that Shorewall is not running? At this point I am not sure the problems lies in shorewall. I will read the article you mention, Tom.
