Hi List, I am new at this and trying to set up shorewall. I was using mnf-en to do it but it was using an old version of shorewall (shorewall-2.0.8-2mdk) and didn''t have the features I wanted. So I''ve installed shorewall-2.4.0-1mdk. Other bits of interest: iproute2-2.6.10-1mdk iptables-1.2.9-8mdk I''m trying to get the providers feature working. show capabilities:

Hi All, concerning the problem when running the "ip ru ls" command. I faced with the same problem, and I solved it by making sure to include the following settings into the kernel configuration (2.4.18): CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y <=== CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y <=== CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_NAT=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_TOS=y

Hi All, We are running a 2.4.20 kernel, with the htb modules loaded, and are receiving the RTNETLINK error when trying to filter on handles. We also have the latest tc downloaded from htb site, and verified it is the executable being executed. We have tracked it to the {handle 1 fw} portion. Hardware is 4501 Soekris and WISP-Dist latest, patched with latest tc. Any ideas on what would cause

Can someone tell me what concept I''m missing here. The setup is simple. I have two default routes after ifup operations. I use "ip route del" to remove one, but then decide to add it back. The attempt is refused. Why? # ip route ls 66.95.83.208/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 66.95.83.210 65.84.205.96/27 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 65.84.205.104

Hi, On this Fedora Core Devel (Raw Hide) system, if I boot on a distribution kernel (based on 2.6.12rc1-bk2) the network is fine. If I build a custom 2.6.12-rc1-V0.7.43-06 or 2.6.12-rc1-mm4 kernel the network interface fails to initialise on boot with RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument. What can possibly cause this ? My kernel config should be mostly fine - I used it extensively at a time and

Hi everybody, I''m not so glad because of the error I describe in the subject. I have two internet lines and I want to do equal cost loadbalancing on the two uplinks to the internet.

When I run this: tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 handle 1 fw I get: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument The traditional interpretation of that gnarly error message is that cls_fw is missing, but lsmod | grep cls_fw gets me: cls_fw 2336 4 (autoclean) I can''t remove it because it''s in use, but all 4 statements that use it failed, so
