I can't connect to my IPCop (firewall) machine from my Slackware 10.2 desktop computer. IPCop run's apache and it's remotely configurable via it's own web interface, I normally connect through port 445.

I've figured out what's going on. Guarddog (firewall) on my Slackware desktop is blocking my connection. When I turn Guarddog off it work's just fine. However, I don't want to shut my firewall down everytime I need to connect to my IPCop machine.

I set my IPCop machine address to the Internet zone in Guarddog. IPCop is running NAT and everything on my network is connected through IPCop.

I've tried allowing HTTP and HTTPS to the allow setting in the Internet zone, and I've also tried setting port 445 to open.

Any help will be appreciated.

maybe you need to make a list of all the incomming ports that (can) be opened in cop and open those for dog as well.

also, is nat set the same in dog as cop?

I actually have manually opened port 445 in Guarddog. It doesn't seem to work. It work's just fine from my MCE machine for some reason. I'm not running NAT/PAT on my Guarddog machine, my IPCop machine serves as my Internet Gateway.

Guarddog seem's to be blocking my IPCop machine due to it's Internet Zone setting. I could remove it from that zone, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense. I think manually creating an iptables script might be less-hassle lol, so I'm going to get started on that. Thanks for your help.
