Shorewall users - Apr 2004 - Cable Internet problem when Shorewall started

I just switched from a Magma DSL connection to a
Rogers cable connection, but I am unable to access the
Internet (resolve hosts) when Shorewall is started. I
am not dropping packets destined for the ports by
which
Rogers sets the ip address, nor do I filter others
which Rogers uses. In fact, I removed all of that from
/etc/shorewall/rules and restarted Shorewall, but
without success.

I am connected directly from my lan card to the cable
modem (though that will perhaps change to a hardware
firewall). 

OS Linux (PC Linux OS)
ports filtered in current /etc/shorewall/rules
6000, 135:139, 427, 111, 631, 873, 952, 1720, 4444,
80, 1025

Any ideas what is wrong? Suggestions?

BTW, I wish I could have stayed with Magma (or any
DSL) but it is not available in my new building,
despite statements to the contrary.

Ralph

Are you seeing ''Shorewall'' messages being logged?
