Hi,

I''m a newbie when it comes to firewalls and Linux.  I''ve been
having
a difficult time trying to configure Shorewall on Mandrake 9.0.
Here''s my problem:

- I have a broadband connection thru cable and the cable modem is
  connected to a Linksys cable/dsl router (befsr41).  I have a couple
  of Windows machines and a Mandrake 9.0 box connected to the router.
  They each get a static ip address. (the 192.168.1.xxx kind)

- Mandrake 9 comes with Shorewall preinstalled.  But I couldn''t get
  it to allow my windows machines to talk to servers running on the
  Linux box. (samba, apache, ssh, etc)

- Basically what I want is to have the firewall *not* blocking any
  connections from my local machines.  How do I set it up?

I looked thru the documentations on the web site, and I still don''t
have a clue and couldn''t get it to work.  Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

wy
