Hello, I was wondering what the difference is between the commands "ip" and "iptables", and what''s better. I know "iptables" is new to kernel 2.4. I''ve asked this question before, but didnt get a response. thanks xerid
ok, so "ip" just controls the default flow of data, while "iptables" controls the access authority. I think that''s right....... thanks :) On Fri, 6 Apr 2001, Arthur van Leeuwen wrote:> On Thu, 5 Apr 2001, xerid wrote: > > > Hello, > > I was wondering what the difference is between the commands "ip" > > and "iptables", and what''s better.

I''ve asked this question before, but didnt get a response.There is no better. ''ip'' gives you access to the TCP/IP stack''s settings, ''iptables'' gives you access to the iptables firewalling code. These are two completely different things.
