Re: [wlug] firewall hell

Hi Glenn.

However if I do:

$/etc/init.d/ipmasq stop $/etc/init.d/ipmasq start

after dialing in then it works.

It sounds like your rules might be binding to an IP address instead of an interface - in your case, probably ppp0. As you get a new IP every time you dial up, your rules may be incorrect. I'm not at all familiar with this "ipmasq" thing though - I recommend just using standard iptables rules...maybe it is, I've never seen it. -- Greig McGill
