Hi, I am having problem in getting my fw to connect to the net, I had set allow fw net in the policy. I suspect maybe shorewall having problem because I have 5 public IP alias to my fw, which is eth0, eth0:1-eth0:4. Because before I add more ip to this interface my fw able to connect to the net. How can I set one IP to be bind to this fw, or I had to change the rules from fw to fw:w.x.y.z? One more thing is which one should I use $fw or just fw without the $ Please help Thank you __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
