Well, I actually had to re-run the install twice. Well I don't want to quit now - what can I do to figure out why my browser/email isn't getting thru? Would I look for some /var/log/messages errors or is there somewhere else I should be looking? Does this sound like a IPCHAINS problem or something else?

Congradulations. I tried for over a month to install a slim version on a 486 with 1/2 gig drive and kept breaking it by removing packages. If finialy broke as far as hardware and I put it to sleep permantly. Actualy still have the case and am hoping to run across a mb at one of the pc shows/swaps. You made out very well for your first linux install. Most end up redoing and install or two. At 02:16 PM 3/29/2000 -0600, Jim Hepner wrote:

This is my first Linux install (at home) so I just wanted to start with a *simple* project. So, for starters I want this machine as a firewall / masq box between my win95 box (soon to be converted to SuSE) and the internet.
I seem to have everything working (I can ping, telnet, ftp thru my firewall) EXCEPT: 1) nothing is reaching my internet browser(IE 5.0) - it just says "Website found, waiting for reply" then times out and 2) I can't send email (but I CAN receive email).
I thought my problem was that my IPCHAINS were too restrictive so I did a test and told ipchains to accept everything (both ways) for INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD. That did not fix my problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to any other things I can try to debug?
Thanks! jrh
