Depending on whether or not your firewall is using iptables or ipchains there are commands you can use while the firewall is running to modify the rules. This would also depend on what you are trying to accomplish.
Example (using iptables): If I wanted to allow a certain IP address to access port 22 (ssh) on my firewall box I would do: iptables -I INPUT --src xx.xx.xx.xx/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT Forwarding rules would be a little bit more elaborate, but once you have them set and they work, do "iptables-save" to save your rules. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: John Salamone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 9:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Network Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to punch a hole in the Linux firewall to allow certain IP addresses through it without stopping it or changing it so all IP addresses are allowed through it. My network is set up as so: dsl connected to my router / firewall connected to a win98 machine and a Linux / win2000 server dual boot machine?
