i was experimenting with iptables.
i noticed there are several ways iptables kills my ppp0 (so i lose my connection).
for exemple:
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
(wanted to allow loopback interface)
killed my ppp0. i mean that ifconfig no longer shows me ppp0, but only eth0 and lo (i'm on DSL). okay, annother time i tried this, my ppp0 wasnt killed but iptables gave me an error that "lo" was unknown...
so... 1) what really kills ppp0? and (much more important) 2) how do i get it back?
i tried pptp "mymodem" and i tried service network restart (which restarts the network on mandrake 9.0).
both doenst help, i always have to reboot...
thank you!
