Replace eth0 with your outside interface, the NIC or modem connected to the outside wall. I think I got everything... # Start iptables routing insmod ip_tables insmod ip_conntrack insmod ip_conntrack_ftp insmod ip_conntrack_irc modprobe iptable_nat iptables -N block iptables -A block -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A block -m state --state NEW -I ! eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A block -m state -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -j block iptables -A FORWARD -j block iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE # End IPTables Routing ~Phantasm http://www.textbox.net ********************************************************************** This post is encrypted in the "english language method", any attempt to decipher meaning from these symbols is a violation of the DMCA.
