I have a firewall set up on my machine which was put in place by PMFirewall. Very easy for people like me who cannot understand ipchains or its documentation.
However it has left me with a small problem. When running the PMFirewall setup it asks if my local network needs access to the internet. I answered 'No' on the basis that only one machine needs access. Now I find that when the firewall is running machines on the local network are denied access to the machine running the firewall.
Can some clever firewall guru tell me what to alter to give access to this machine from the local network when the firewall is running. These other machines do not need to access the Internet.
As an aside I'm still hoping for a meeting somewhere near me (10 miles South East of Colchester).
Best wishes to all.
