hi! i have a wierd problem with my internet connection on LAN computers. i have mandriva 2006 instaled on my server, and it is a gateway for my computers on LAN, i have 3 others PCs with WindowsXP SP2 , on my mandriva i use shorewall to route internet to my LAN PCs. i used this on my erlier systems Mandriva 2005, and Mandrake 10.1 , and always it worked properly, but yesterday when i instaled mandriva 2006, and set up the shorewall, my LAN PCs cant acces some internet sites like: everything connected with msn.com, nero.com and more, other web sites are working, but there are many that doesnt works, but the mandriva 2006 can acces all the sites. so if you can tell me what to post here to help me out.

Check the security settings in the MCC. Mandriva2006 defaults to "High", where the earlier versions defaulted to standard. This might explain it.

tnx for youre reply, but i dont know what is MCC, and how can i set it to standard. can you please give me some directions.

MCC = "Mandriva Control Center"
You can access it by "System/Configuration/Configure your Computer" or something like that. (I'm not in front of my linux box right know). There should be somewhere a security setting set to HIGH. Try to set it to Standard.

If you can't find it please reply to this message and I'll tell you the exact way to set it.

am i dont have a GUI, i use only console, can you help me without GUI?

You can still run it in the console. It uses the curses library in that case to give you a similar interface.

dont know how to start it

su to root and enter "mcc" in the console. Try "locate mcc" if you need to find it. Also, most modules have their own program you could start instead. I don't remember the name but it might be called "netdrake"

You could try "locate drak | grep 'sbin/' to get a list of mcc modules. They usually have drake or drak in the name, and are in the /sbin or /usr/sbin directory.

i try to find something with drake and i only find those:

drakauth drakfirewall drakmouse draksound
drakautoinst drakfont draknet_monitor draksplash
drakbackup drakgw draknfs drakTermServ
drakboot drakhelp drakperm drakupdate_fstab
drakbug drakhelp_inst drakprinter drakups
drakbug_report drakhosts drakproxy drakx11
drakclock drakids drakroam drakxservices
drakconnect drakkeyboard draksambashare drakxtv
drakdisk draklocale drakscanner
drakedm draklog draksec

but i cant find MCC, i installed MDV with minimal things ( cca 300mb )

[root@janez3k sbin]# locate mcc
/usr/share/mcc
/usr/share/mcc/themes
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default/configure-monitor-mdk.png
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default/MandrakeUpdate.png
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default/XFdrake-mdk.png
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default/autologin-mdk.png
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default/backup-mdk.png
/usr/share/mcc/themes/default/boot-mdk.png
and so on with .png files

so.. what now...

I believe the module you are looking for is "dracsec", so you can run that one directly. Perhaps the "mcc" program is only installed if you install the xorg server.
You might also want to look at the drakperm program.

Also, after su'ing to root you could try executing "bash -l" so that you are using a bash login shell, which set's up the roots users paths.

the problem is gone! at the mandriva email help, somebody advise me to set the variable in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
CLAMPMSS=no

to set it to yes, and the problem is gone! tnx anyway!
