@Derek Sorry, the script is below. The rules are in a few that I told iptables to save a while back, and the save file does work when I do 'sudo iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.up.rules' manually. @Marius I just shut off my ubuntu computer, but the next time I get back to it I'll try the init.d/iptables save. @All Thanks for you help Jimmy <div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 13, 2007 6:34 AM, Marius Gedminas < <a href="mailto:marius@pov.lt">marius@pov.lt</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d"> </div> You can still do that (and continue to use NetworkManager) if you create a shell script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d: #!/bin/sh if [ "$IFACE" = "eth0" ]; then iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.up.rules fi (Disclaimer: the script is not tested.)
