Put your iptables rules in a file somewhere convenient, i.e. /etc/iptables.up.rules: *filter :INPUT DROP [0:0] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :IN_TCP - [0:0] -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -j IN_TCP -A IN_TCP -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A IN_TCP -j ULOG --ulog-prefix "IN_TCP cleanup: " -A IN_TCP -j DROP COMMIT Then update /etc/network/interfaces: #iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet static pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.
