The problem:
Cannot receive packets from the web, I can send email but not receive it for eg. Also, clicking buttons on web pages just times out. I guess I've inadvertetly blocked incoming packets that I want to receive. Here's the result of iptables -L
[root@indigo-prime sbin]# ./iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
Chain RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT (0 references)
target prot opt source destination
The idea is supposed to be that anything I send gets out, which seems to work. Anything cming in is blocked unless told otherwise... or if it is associated with something I sent out. i.e. a link or a button press on a web page - anything associated with that should get back to me. Also, when I hit "send receive" on ximian email... but this bit dosn't happen.
Thanx for input.
I'm building such a set of "howto's" here I'll soon be able to start paying all this help forward
