That did it! I knew they were a bit screwy there. Do you know if they consider NAT a "proxy"? If they do they can kiss my business goodbuy, I'm not leaving windows unguarded, and 2 firewalls is better than one in linux! Thanks for the help!

cable mode and firewall...
by Wesley Allen July 31, 2001

July 31, 2001

Hi, I just got broadband at home and am loving every minute of it. But I'm hitting one snag... I dusted off an old sonicwall we had lying around at my job and got permission to take it home, after hacking the firewall I got everything set up and ready to go, my wan was hooked up to the cable modem, my lan was hooked up to the hub, the dhcp server was set up, and I had NAT w/dhcp client as the default setting. So I reboot the firewall and it doesn't get an ip address! I erase any trace of the older, static, settings, and try again, noting. Has anyone else got this problem? I'm stuck with Charter communications, do they have some way to avoid giving addresses to firewalls; if so, hello DSL my wife is tied to windows and I'm not shelling out money for something that comes built into linux. Thanks, Wes

dan; yes, i can ping client to server and server to client. i looked at ipchains -L -n and the only source other than 0.0.0.0/0 was 192.168.1.1 which is the ip address of the server and the target was accept at ports 53 -> *. the other accept was prot all source 0.0.0.0/0 and ports n/a. everything else had target of reject (tcp udp) et.al. chain forward policy is accept chain output policy is accept now to be honest with you, i haven't much of a clue what the above means. hopefully, you do. any more help muchly appreciated. jim s

Firewall Script hacking (LONG)
by Paul Gelinas July 27, 2001

July 27, 2001

Hi, I've been meaning to do this for months, so here goes: Many of you (like me) probably use Bob Ziegler's firewall scripts (or some variant/derivative thereof) for maintaining your firewall. These scripts (particularly the IANA listings) need to be updated periodically.

Fwd: [Don.Reagan@trw.com: Need help on a Linux issue]

HI gang, If anybody feels like writing an answer to this technical question, you have a chance of getting it published in SysAdmin magazine. If you're interested, directly contact Don.Reagan(a)trw.com ASAP. Thanks, Andy ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Don.Reagan(a)trw.com: Need help on a Linux issue] Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 16:58:41 -0400 From: <arr(a)oceanwave.com> To: andystewart(a)mediaone.net Howdy, Liz (your sister) said you'd be the man who may know the answer to this. I write a column (Q&A) for SysAdmin magazine, but I'm not a Linux person and know diddly about their printing stuff. If you can answer this guy's question (cc me) and it's a sufficiently complex answer, I'll be happy to print it in the next issue I write up. If you're not interested, thanks for reading this far, and sorry for bothering you. :} ------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934 encapsulation) ------- Importance: Normal From: "Don Reagan" <Don.Reagan(a)trw.com> To: <jrmckins(a)yahoo.com>, <arr(a)oceanwave.com> Subject: Need help on a Linux issue Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 11:47:31 -0700 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_001C_01C114FF.9640F520 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am a reader of the Sys Admin magazine. I was wondering if you can help me on a Linux issue. I can't print to a networked HP LJ 5Si printer. Notes: I Can ping the printer. I can ping all network resources. Printer is in the same hub as my computer. Tried to setup printer on computer using CUPS, LPR, PDQ, PRINTTOOL, and Mandrake Hardware setup tool. CUPS asks me for a command line. I tried something like "IPP://PrintServer/PrinterName:9100" Also with the word socket in the front. None of the examples I have seen ask for the IP. I tried one command line with the IP but it didn't work. None of the documentation is clear on networked HP printers. It seems like I have tried every combination. Tried a raw IP print to the printer "lpr raw(a)123.123.123.123 test" Printer runs these protocols: Netware, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and LAT. We print to this printer in Windows using a Windows 2000 print server. I am the maverick I want to dual boot Windows and Linux. Using CUPS (Common Unix Printing Service) with IPP, Socket, and other setup lines. Not sure of the command line for this. I tried editing the /etc/printcap, and /etc/printrc files. I Got the PDD for the HP 5Si printer. I thought maybe my editing of printcap or printrc was stopping the CUPS or other methods of setup from working so I went back to the original copies. Oh ya, before you say something simple like read the print man page--I did, also I went to Mandrake documentation, HP printing for Unix web page, read the documentation at Linuxprinting.org web site, Read the printing documentation at Red Hat web site. Not sure it is a HP Jetdirect network card in the printer. Though I suspect I could use HP Jetdirect software to set it up on a Windows machine. I guess what I really need is someone who has printed from a Linux variant to a networked HP printer. Everything I read says this is traditionally a hard issue because of varies issues. Compatibility has been an issue. System: Mandrake Linux v8 full install, Dell GX110 computer. 3Com905 network card.
