All is fine now. Adding the line: iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
fixes the problem. Does anyone know what this line does? I found this using an online script generator at http://www.iptables.1go.dk/index1.php. Thanks for all your help.

I have decided to close everyting and then open up just ssh and ssl. This obviously prevents my apt-get update from working. What ports do I need to open for this to work. If it helps I am going through a proxy to get to the internet. > > > > Thanks > > > > ijg0
