Re: [PLUG] re: odd networking issue

Adam,
     My understanding is that Shorewall is used to configure Netfilter (ie, iptables).  Thus, if you "turn off" Shorewall, the kernel's iptables are still set up to perform routing/firewall functions.  I would recommend flushing your iptables by running the following:

sudo iptables --flush

This will clear all routing/firewalling changes that Shorewall (and for the record, anything else such as Firestarter, etc) has made to your system.  

HTH,
     Brian

I see precisely the same behavior whether shorewall is running or not.

Ja- 100% sure about that one.
