Hi to all. I have a shorewall ver 2.0.13 running in Fedora Core 3, the machine
has dual cpu, 1gb of ram, and 40GB of hard disk space. The machine runs
shorewall only and had tested it to openvpn but most of the time just shorewall.

The problem, there were instances when internet traffic coming from the local
network just halts, I needed to restart shorewall in order the traffic to flow
again. Im considering a lot of factors, one maybe the interfaces. I have one
external LAN card and other built-in (VIA lan controller) and Im suspecting one
just cant handle the flow of data, im actually thinking of ways to prove this.
Another factor maybe an already existing issue with this version of shorewall.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide


Jan
