Hi,

I run shorewall on mdk 9.0 (Cooker) too, but AFAIR packages don''t use
last=20
shorewall version.
I set it up using 1.3.9a, without so much problems.
You seem to have 2 zones, fw & loc, so:
=09- either open each needed ports in /etc/shorewall/rules from loc->fw,
refer=20
to /etc/services to find wich ports you need to open)
=09- or open all ports from loc->fw in /etc/shorewall/policy.

Caution: this are newbie advices, I strongly recommend a free dive in
Tom''s=20
excellent documentation !
