As some of you know, when I tried to make a firewall rule, I would get = locked out of my system, and I'd have to iptables -F from the console. I had to allow for 139 and 445 to come through. just thought I'd share the information. :) HTH, BTW, I'm using nmap, but it's only getting TCP ports. I'd like to block = all potential udp threats as well as any other ports running that I = don't know about that iptables is showing. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,
