My shorewall settings are on the attached file.
Please do me a favor.
a) Uninstall Shorewall (however your distribution allows you to do that)
b) rm -rf /etc/shorewall
c) rm -rf /etc/default/shorewall
d) Install the shorewall package -- DO NOTHING ELSE other than what I
tell you below.
e) cd /etc/shorewall
f) if you are running Debian or Ubuntu and installed the .deb:
cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/one-interface/* .
otherwise
cp /usr/share/shorewall/Samples/one-interface/* .
g) Edit /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and be sure that
STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes; if not change it.
h) If you are running Debian or Ubuntu, edit /etc/default/shorewall and
set startup=1.
i) At a root console, type 'shorewall start'.
This configuration will allow you unfettered access from your computer
to the internet.
Now
a) cd /etc
b) cp -a shorewall shorewall.good
c) Now make changes to /etc/shorewall to try to allow the incoming
traffic that you want. If you suddenly find that is has all gone to
hell, then
d) cd /etc
f) rm -rf /etc/shorewall
g) cp -a /etc/shorewall.save /etc/shorewall
h) shorewall restart
