As a test put the following in /etc/shorewall/policy

all all ACCEPT info

Notice that you have to comment out the rest. So if you have 'fw net ACCEPT' or 'masq net ACCEPT', comment (put a # in front of them) them.

 

Now restart shorewall. As root type

service shorewall restart

Let us know if it works now because some tweaking in /etc/shorewall/rules will be needed.

I don't know how to do what you are advising.  I am new to mandrake.

oh .. ok then.

 

Open the file located at /etc/shorewall/policy as root (the admin of the system) and do the mod. Open a console and do that as follow (this should open an editor for you to do the mod):

su

[enter your password]

kwrite /etc/shorewall/policy

 

Now save the changes and in the same console that your opened, type that to restart the firewall :

service shorewall restart

 

as simple as that
