Hey me again,
I've got every thing with my SNF box working but now I can ping every computer from my SNF box but all the other computers on the network can't ping the SNF box. . .
Well here is all the info on my network:
2 Win XP boxes
1 win98 box
and the SNF box (Mandrake Single Network Firewall)
I want to have the SNF box do the routing for my xDSL connection. I had it working once for about ten minutes but then it all came crashing down I figured I just setup somthing wrong so I just reinstalled but no luck.

Thanks

Nycon

Now I'm making a bit of an assumption here:
you setup the firewall using some sort of wizard or GUI firewall tool.

That works fine until things *don't* work and then you don't have a clue where to start looking for problems.

Firewalling with iptables isn't that tough. I suggest looking at the "unreliable guide" at netfilter.samba.org and reading man iptables.

Worked great for me :cool:
