Using shorewall can't ssh to internal computer

[Guest wilsnyder]

I have one computer with a dsl connection, and I've set up nat to my other, internal computer. I've set up shorewall by hand, and the firewall seems to work fine. Nat works fine, I can access the internet from my internal computer, and I can ssh from my interal computer to the computer with dsl. However, I can't ssh from my firewall computer to my internal computer. When I disable shorewall, though, ssh works in both directions. Can anyone help me figure out how to enable ssh to the internal computer?

 

Thanks,

Need to setup Shorewall not to block port 22 which is the SSH port.

Add the following line to /etc/shorewall/rules:

 

ACCEPT net fw tcp 22

Does shorewall have a GUI interface, or do you have to configure it via command line?

Yes, Webmin, a fantastic GUI.

The name of the configuration tool is Webmin? Where do I access it from?

Webmin is on the regular mandrake cds, or you can get rpms from the repositories at easy-urpmi. You have to install it, start the service (it starts automatically next time you boot), go to a browser and type https://localhost:10000, log in and you are set.

ports in shorewall are much more easily opened through the firewall section of the mandrake control center
