Thank you! You've given me a great place to start. I checked out the messages log and "shore" enough,
Code:
localhost kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0
So I started reading up on shorewall and made some changes. I can now ping 127.0.0.1 and other iterations of my own machine, as well as the outside world, traceroute works properly, etc. Now I'm left with two problems. I still can't ping this box from another LAN box and I still can't SSH into it (localhost sshd[26221]: refused connect from 192.168.1.107 (192.168.1.107))
I'm now set up as follows:
*rules*
Code:
ACCEPT net fw tcp 80,443,22 -
ACCEPT loc fw tcp 22,137
ACCEPT loc fw udp 138,139,445
ACCEPT loc fw icmp echo-request
#ACCEPT loc fw icmp 8,0 #Tried this with no luck
*policy*
Code:
fw net ACCEPT
net all DROP info
all all REJECT info
#fw loc ACCEPT #Tried this with no luck
I'm trying to set up so I can be a web server (working), but also for SSH from (initially) local machines and (eventually) net machines, and will be setting up SAMBA next.
Am I as close as I feel? (the more frustrated you are, the closer you are to the answer)
