Running 4.4.11.6, if ppp0 is listed in /etc/shorewall/providers then you
need to 'shorewall restart' when it goes up or down.

I see no reason why eth2 wouldn't work. What 'ping' command were you
using? I assume that you were pinging from the firewall itself?

Roberto Sanchez (the Debian Shorewall maintainer) maintains a Squeeze
repository with the latest version of Shorewall. It is linked from the
