Re: Internet connection on Linux

I think I've found my problem; when I run

$> iptables -L

all I get is

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have some rules there...! Is there a
generic FC7 rules script? Any ideas why it might have been deleted, or
doesn't get used on boot up? I've never quite completely understood IP
tables, so if someone could point me in the direction of a generic
script (I've got some rules that I know work with my Samba
configuration), I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,
Chris
