May I add, that of course, if you configured Shorewall in a way that when stopped, it blocks everything, or in a way that you need some rules for routing, and clearing removes that, you should make sure the routing is properly configured and everything is open. That’s why I said uninstalling (and doing the routing manually), instead of just stopping it.
>> I did notice that Shorewall was still listed in a ps display Also, Jay, it is important when going through the steps of finding a problem, to always verify that things really are like described and expected (Shorewall is really stopped) on the current step, before trying the next step (connecting). Otherwise one loses sight of where one got stuck (At “Shorewall not stopping”, instead of “not being able to connect”.) I know that it might become tedious and one gets impatient, because I did the same thing in the past, but haste makes it worse, leading to messing around for days, instead of focusing on the problem. I don’t want you to fall into the same trap. :) Navid ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
