I was just making it identical to the Mint computer but it still didn't make it print. I'm looking through iptanles man-page amd wsd thinkimg that perhaps I should put in a 'persistent' rule or a '--to-destination rule? OKAY.... disable iptables.... how is that done? I can't find it in the manpage nor does anything I try work (iptables disable.....). how do I delete the ufw rules that were inserted into theptable when I was playing with it? Well I know you iptable -D but it isn't working. bmike1@Michaels-PC:~$ sudo iptables -D output 24 25 26 27 28 29 Bad argument `25' Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. bmike1@Michaels-PC:~$ Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 AS0_OUT_LOCAL all -- anywhere anywhere 2 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere 3 DROP all -- base/8 anywhere 4 DROP all -- anywhere base/8 5 DROP all -- 255.255.255.255 anywhere 6 DROP all -- anywhere 0.0.0.0 7 DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID 8 ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.0.3 qwestmodem.domain.actdsltmp tcp dpt:domain 9 ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.0.3 qwestmodem.domain.actdsltmp udp dpt:domain 10 ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.0.3 resolver.qwest.net tcp dpt:domain 11 ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.0.3 resolver.qwest.net udp dpt:domain 12 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere 13 DROP all -- base/8 anywhere 14 DROP all -- anywhere base/8 15 DROP all -- 255.255.255.255 anywhere 16 DROP all -- anywhere 0.0.0.0 17 DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID 18 OUTBOUND all -- anywhere anywhere 19 OUTBOUND all -- anywhere anywhere 20 LOG_FILTER all -- anywhere anywhere 21 LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level info prefix `Unknown Output' 22 LOG_FILTER all -- anywhere anywhere 23 LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level info prefix `Unknown Output' 24 ufw-before-logging-output all -- anywhere anywhere 25 ufw-before-output all -- anywhere anywhere 26 ufw-after-output all -- anywhere anywhere 27 ufw-after-logging-output all -- anywhere anywhere 28 ufw-reject-output all -- anywhere anywhere 29 ufw-track-output all -- anywhere anywhere I need to go to bed now.
