Shorewall users - Feb 2003 - Question about Shorewall

Hi!

I''m using Shorewall, installed hover Mandrake MNF... but don''t
have a DMZ in my Firewall I have only to zones: loc -> Local Network and net
-> Internet
Interface    zone
eth0          loc
eth1         net

Using the Firewall/proxy I have access to net, but can''t access to
mail. I think the problem is in the rules, but a friend says that the DMZ is
necessary.
My question is do I need to have a DMZ to shorewall works?


Thanks

Joaquim Santos

No.  You do not need a DMZ.

If you need any more help, it will probably save a lot of time if you refer 
to http://shorewall.net/support.htm to find out the kind of information 
people around here will need to diagnose problems quickly
