Guest vincentb Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 ll, I have recently installed Shorewall on my PC (Dell 510m with Mandrake 10.0). I have tried to configure it trough the Webmin application. When I switch my computer ON and open a Galeon browser, I have no access to the net. I then go in Webmin and refesh the config (apply config button or refrh config button) and then, I have a connection to the net. I would like to avoid this, of course. Is there a way for instance to force a refresh when the computer switches on. Any other idea? Could this problem be created by somethng else? Thanks in advance, Vincent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimmO Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I had a similar problem - at boot up, shorewall was trying to start before the network interfaces. I had to rename some links in /etc/rc.d/rc1.d through to rc6.d the links that start the services all have file names beginning with "S". The number after the S is the start order. Make sure that the number for shorewall is bigger than the numbers for network. On my pc, shorewall starts in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d all you have to do is log in as root and rename the links. (forgive my incorrect lingo) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
