init of firewall

[Shahar Dag]

a buy pass will be to activate your script from /etc/crontab
add line that looks similar to

@reboot user script

  Subject: init of firewall


  I am new to this mailing list.

  I have a laptop  I use for surfing the internet and email that gets its IP address from my ISP.
  I am using ubuntu Intrepid with everything updated as of two days ago.
  My iptables firewall script expects DNS to be available when it starts up.
  Scheduling my firewall to init after NetworkManager fails.
  My firewall script fails in such a way that internet connections fail without the DNS information.
  If I restart my firewall from a user terminal my firewall seems to configure properly and I can surf the web and get my email.
  After searching for possible solutions, I tried renaming my firewall script to start with a 50 and putting it in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d.
  This also failed. I would like to be able to init my firewall without a manual restart.

  Anthony
