Can someone please help me with my firewall?


I have an IPtables firewall running. My linux computer has two network cards. One is for my DSL and the other one is for a gateway so I have interent access on my two other Win XP computers.

Anyways, the firewall is working great except I have two small problems that I would like to fix with it. The first problem is I cannot send any files through MSN messenger. And the second is it takes like 2-3 minutes to connect to an IRC server.

Here is my whole firewall script: http://www.jaymefall.com/firewall.txt

If anyone would be so kind as to take a look through it and see if there is anything in there that can be changed to correct this problem it would be greatly appreciated. I really don't know what to look for.

Thanks,
