Hello,

I hope someone would reply to this as non of my other questions are getting answered.

I am trying to configure my firewall using iptables. When I type in
iptables -L as root I get

bash: iptables: command not found

Additionally I would like to know how to network my redhat 9 to a win2k machine.

Both NIC's are configured. I am trying to use DHCP to automatically detect everything.

Many thanks in advance

Please confirm you have iptables installed

#rpm -q iptables

If you get a response like iptables-1.xxx, iptables is installed .. good.

Try /sbin/iptables -L. Suggest you use /sbin/iptables -vL as this will give you the rules in more detail.

If /sbin/iptables works, have you used su as in

#su <ENTER>

if so, next time on, use

#su - <ENTER> (that is su with a - (hyphen) as a parameter)

With plain su, the current user's environment (PATH, etc) are used. A normal user account does not have /sbin in his(er) path. With su -, root's environment is read and properly set.

/sbin/iptables -L worked fine. Thanks.

I will let you know how I get configuring my firewall.

I hope I can get as good replies to my screen resolution issues and how to get Red Hat see Win2k machine using dhcp
