FIREWALL STUFF

[Maurice Murphy]

Hello Stan,

Thank you for your advice.  Upon receiving it, I was full of hope that 
my firewall problems would be over.  Unfortunately, this was not to be!

Specifically when I went into terminal and did sudo lokkit, a dos-like 
screen came up giving me three choices.  I used my spacebar to choose 
"medium" and then pressed F12 for the next screen.  No next screen 
appeared.  So I was unable to make further refinements to the 
configuration. The end result was that I was unable to  access my home 
LAN,  Not exactly what I wanted!

After completely removing Firestarter with Synaptic, I tried to install 
the Gnome Security Package from Automatix2, only to be greeted with a 
large red FATAL error!  So that was that.  After a bit of fiddling, I 
got my LAN up and running again.  So I guess the best I can do is to 
hide behind my password protected router and pray for better news!

Thanks again for the suggestions,

Maurice
