Eieew, 20+ megs...I have a dialup and don't see downloading smoothwall in this lifetime. I tried shorewall and setting it up via the nice drakconf frontend but it completely borked my ability to connect to the internet, seemingly regardless of what settings I made (as to allowing what to access, etc). I killed it and then tried my iptables.sh script again (which DID work in 9.0) but now, magically, iptables doesn't accept the input and no error messages appear in any logs either. My laptop uses dhcp by default as that is what it needs at my job. Setting up dhcp-server (as required by drakegw) failed initially: bad signatures on virtually it plus bind and a few other rpms. After I got around this, dhcp-server was supposedly running but my laptop would repeatedly poll to no avail. It would not get assigned an IP even though I could clearly see the data being passed (via gkrellm) over ethernet to my desktop. The desktop just wasn't doing anything. What I'd really like at this point is to just get iptables to forward traffic to the net from eth0 so my laptop can work with the internet through my desktop. Shorewall and drakegw haven't impressed me at this juncture so I would prefer to skip them unless someone has information as to why they were braindead from moment 0 upon setting them up (without any errors or messages indicating problems or misconfiguration).
