Shorewall users - Feb 2003 - Got it. Thanks Karsten

I want to thank Karsten,=0D

He was right that the ACCEPT policy needed to be placed before DROP and
REJECT. Once I did that The Local Host got Internet access. I had previously
uncommented the line  in the default policy file supplied by Mandrake. I
moved it up on the list all all started working as desired. Hopefully
Mandrake release 9.1 will fix this problem.=0D

I am not a heavily skilled network hacker, but I know the traps. ;)

Mandrake: I hope so, too -- but it is really a good idea, to upgrade
shorewall and doing it from scratch instead of using the pre configured
firewall...
