Guest Highroller Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I have a game server which connects directly to the Internet with a 10 MBit LAN (dynamic ip). I can connect to the internet (web browser) but I can't get rid of the ppp+ setting in the Mandrake Control Center firewall (I'm using the swedish version so my translation may not be the best but you know what I mean). In the firewall control panel I select eth2 (my 3Com NIC) and save but ppp+ is still there when I do it again. So I can't get any traffic in which kind of sucks... I use 10.1 with higher security. I also have an integrated NIC at eth0 but it's disabled. I've tried to edit the shorewall config file directy and replaced "net ppp+ ..." with "net eth2 ..." but to no avail. I added a new motherboard, cpu and ram tonight, so I installed over the old installation (not upgrade). Hope someone can help! One more thing, is it better to use the integrated NIC for less latency/cpu load? Best wishes, //Tom Hardware info (probably unimportant...)

Qchem Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Have you tried looking on the shorewall website? I seem to remember they have sample configs for many situations and documentation on editing them. And welcome to the board!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blino Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Do you have opened Samba in your firewall ? If so, your firewall settings are likely to be broken, it was rather buggy in 10.1 We've fixed this in 10.1 updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellis Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I have a wireless connection, which I set up manually as wlan0. Even though shorewall has been set up to use it, it does not read the setting back correctly and displays ppp+. The actual setting has been changed, and I can connect to the internet OK (as you can see). Perhaps you have the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Highroller Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hi guys, Thank you for the replies! I must say that these forums are great. Well everything seems to work fine now but the ppp+ setting is still there. The same thing as Sellis reports I guess. Weird but as long as it works, I won't try to fix it! But I'm going to ask a friend to scan my ip just to make sure the firewall is on... B) Thanks again! //Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
