Just a bad story:

1. downloaded the free MNF

2. installed it

3. couldn't log into it over LAN. Took me half an hour to find out, that the shorewall did run from the beginning with default settings :screwy:

4. Had taken the firewall out of the server-room again to connect it to keyboard and monitor in another room to log into and stop the shorewall :wall:

5. NOW, i could log into it over LAN

6. configured all settings EXACTLY according the english manual with screenshots. Have exactly the same features as described in the manual (two NICs, one pointing to a DSL-modem)

8. deleted the DMZ-zone, cause i don't need it

9. shorewall was broken :cheeky:

10. found out, that "DMZ" wasn't deleted all over, just in some files, not in every :furious3:

11. deleted DMZ by hand in all config's

12. shorewall started up again

13. added ONE default masquerading route for the clients, EXCACTLY as described in the docs

14. however, the clients couldn't connect. Only the firewall is in the internet (yes, gateways are defined as should and yes, DNS works)

15. spent additional 4 hours to find the error in the network/iptables-rules until i gave up and decided to take another product, hopefully MUCH more professional (next i will try out shorewall)

 

........ :bounce8:
