[NTLUG:Discuss] Problem with Mandrake 9.0

[Pervaz Allaudin]

I traced to to firewall issue. I had gone into security and had added a 
standard  security and it asked for the shoreline package but the log in 
/var/log/messages showed at the end a bunch of

Nov 20 12:22:34 localhost kernel: Shorewall:OUTPUT:REJECT:IN= OUT=ppp0 
SRC=12.86.219.83 DST=66.35.229.200 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID
=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1151 DPT=80 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0

I took the the firewall down - no firewall  - and shutoff the shoreline 
deamon from services. and I was able to get through fine.

Befroe that I had shutdown the http and the ftp and couple of other 
servers but the problem persisted.

My routing showed OK with ifconfig (as below).

I still do want to
1 -How I can get the firewall up and go on the net - In RH I had a 
firewall at medium and was bale to go out fine.
2 - Does running a server(s) conflict with going on the net -if it hogs 
the ppp port.

But it works for now.

Pervaz:

If you find out, let me know. I got the same problem with 9.0. I put it on a 
spare drive and screwed with it for a couple of days, got totally frustrated 
and blew it away and put Win98 on that drive. ( I needed 98 for a project) I 
normally use Mdk 8.0, but I would like to upgrade.... to something that 
works, of course.
