I'm definitely not the greatest at reading iptables rules, but I didn't see anything there that looked to me like your firewalls rules are blocking anything. I'm also going to guess that you don't control the nameservers listed in your /etc/resolv.conf, and that they belong to your ISP. I think that you may need to call the tech support number for your ISP in order to have them examine their configuration-- it's possible that they are blocking tcp queries or replies. I saw some recommendations late last week to put more specific entries into your freshclam.conf file, so that your machines doesn't have to try the tcp dns request. That's a good idea, and should definitely get you up and running. -ron ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: GNOME Foundation Hackers Unite!
